How do you find hip scores??? i am looking for a website that tells you the hip scores, i know that when you submit your dog for scoring it gets recorded for all to see but where? thanks

KVet

The official Hip Scoring Scheme is run jointly by the BVA and KC. You would need the dogs KC details and prob best to ring them up. I doubt you will find them online anywhere although I could be wrong.

They are available on The Kennel Club website. You need a dog's full KC-registered name or Studbook number.

It's the registration number you need, or the KC name.

For border collies at least the system has trouble with dual registered dogs (ISDS and KC) so won't accept their KC name but if you google the KC name then often you find their registration number with DNA test or eye test results ad that will work. That could be the same for some other situations just in case you run into problems.

If you ask to see the KC pedigrees of the parents, the hipscores should be shown there.

A good breeder will show you these without being asked - also elbow scores and eye-test results.

I have been shown the hip score for the dog but the !!!!! wasnt and i wanted to see if any of her relations had been scored......I really like this puppy but something is just not sitting right with me and i cant put my finger on it........

If you know the KC name of the !!!!!, you can find out whether or not she has been endorsed by her breeder "not for breeding" - in which case the puppies can't be KC-registerered.

Good breeders generally put endorsement restriction on puppies until they have been hi/elbow scored.....

Personally If you have any worries about a breeder I would walk away.`Also have you seen results of any eye testing as Border Collies should really have these also.
