Abstract

This study was carried out to assess hip joint in Labrador retrievers. From 1999 to 2004, 131 Labrador retrievers were tested by British Veterinary Association(BVA)/Kennel club(KC) scoring scheme, 66 were tested by $PennHIP^{(R)}$ method. In this study the mean score by BVA/KC scoring scheme was $12.5{\pm}6.6$ and the mean DI was $0.53{\pm}0.14$. It was found that Labrador retrievers of Samsung Guide Dog school have better hip joint condition than that of Labrador retrievers registered in BVA, and have similar mean DI to PennHIP breed mean score. This study suggested that using both BVA/KC scoring scheme and $PennHIP^{(R)}$ method was a specific method which can make the most possible definitive diagnosis, could provide baseline hip information for the hip joint in Labrador retrievers as Guide Dog.
