yeah, but the pain on the people are about the same level but more mid-line.

: Since you can Pennhip a pup at 16 weeks then you would actually save money by doing
: the test. Instead of waitng and seeing. Plus without a definitive number you don't
: know if the hips are getting better or just borderline. And as a newbie I want to
: be able to run as many tests as I can that will take the guess work out of it. I
: guess it is the engineer in me.

: But ya'll need to not take everything so personal. And don't say you haven't cause
: I can see in the post here and on the J board.
:
: If we were all doing the same thing then the AB would not be the dog it is today.
: And that is good and bad.

: What are the breeders who don't hip test their dogs afraid of? What difference does
: it make to you if anyone test their dogs hips? Let all of the information flow and
: let everyone make up their own mind.

: Unfortunately we see everyday people talking about hips in our American Bulldogs.
: Why
: It truly sadens me to see people say the things they do primarliy because they want
: to make bottom line money! $$$$$$$ Off there Bulldogs instead of making sure the
: breed is healthy and sound! Is it worth it?
: We all read things like I cannot see anything wrong with the way my Bulldogs move
: from people who have had bulldogs only a few years and say things like
: "treat the patient" not the x-ray!" from a medical background? Or it
: does not matter if a person has DVM in front of there name as if the years and
: years of training mean's nothing and a couple of years of seeing a young Bulldog
: move is proof the American Bulldog does not need help in that particular area!
: Spining the truth or the lie does not take away from the truth
: we have avery dysplastic breed folks and we see every year Bulldogs who cannot get
: off there rear ends some young and some old! Our breed is in the Top six out of 139
: different breeds for hip dysplasia.
: Everyone of us has seen a "very healthy looking man or woman" looking
: great on the outside and they move hreat and find out they have cancer or some other
: major health problem(like heart disease or kidneys failing) and it strikes them dead
: or disables them completely soon after we witness them looking great on the outside.
: We all know money drives every poor decision and it drives every misinformed
: person to make a choice they usually regreat later.
: Make no mistake checking for bad hips in your bloodlines and pups makes a
: difference. Your puppy may be cheaper and sure you'll get a replacement most of them
: have 30-40 bulldogs so what's the problem? Waitng a heart break or your puppy
: bloodline wasn't worth the fight for right! I've got to get ready for church I just
: read and read and read the garbage people are writting about hips and the spin they
: put on hipsthat it made me sick! This is not a personal attack on anyone , I love
: you all no matter if you check hips or not ,my commitment is to this breed and my
: aliance is with God so if you have a problem with what I believe about hips take it
: up with God ,I won't argue or fight with ignorance or people who spin things for
: personal gain. I will stand up and be counted for what I believe in. Its kind of
: like that old saying live for something or die for nothing! Well if I can't do it
: right I won';t do it at all thats the way I think.!
