Is there any way to know when you purchase a two- or three-month-old puppy if it is likely to develop hip dysplais severe enough to make it unfit for trailing?
Harris: It’s hereditary. That is why it’s called a developmental disease. But there is no way to tell if a puppy is going to develop severe hip dysplais. You should help your puppy develop muscle strength through proper exercise to keep the joints stable, and you must not allow the puppy to become overweight.
