Incidence of Hip Dysplasia in Dogs

A study done by the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals OFA, which analyzed the highest number of cases, found the following results.

We present a summary of the main breeds, the study extended in time from 1974 until 2010 with at least 100 cases per breed analyzed and as many as 147 different breeds.

Notably, the English Bulldog and Pug were the dogs with the highest percentage of dysplasia along with the Boudeaux Dog exceeding 50%, while close behind was the Neapolitan Mastiff and the St. Bernard. On the other hand there were virtually no known cases of dysplasia in Greyhounds.
