Hips

Scored only once in the lifetime after 12 months of age, (KC mandatory)

When the Polish Lowland was first introduced into the UK those involved in the breed wanted to retain the health and wellbeing for future generations, therefore breeders agreed to KC/BVA Hip score their Pons prior to breeding- this was to hopefully prevent hip dysplasia, a condition that can effects a pets lifestyle considerably.

The process is; for the Pon to be X-rayed by a vet and the x-ray submitted to the KC/BVA panel of specialists for a ‘score’ this can be range between 0-106, the lower the better. Initially to utilize the gene pool, if fit and healthy pons were bred from up to approx total score of 30, however now, almost 30 years on, our ‘breed mean average’ total is 17, so the recommendation is that each of the parents should be scored no higher than a total of 17. Also ideally the scores should be reasonable even on each hip.

Our KC/BVA scoring system is one of the most stringent, there are differing methods of testing in other countries, however for puppies born in the UK it is recommended their parents are Scored in the UK
