Have you read the articles on hip xrays on this site? Try swimming her a lot and retaking them. I don't know what kind of dog this is, but running is not the best thing for a dog w/questionable hips. Swimming can improve subluxation, if that's the only issue.
"Have you read the articles on hip xrays on this site?"
I have.
"I don't know what kind of dog this is, but running is not the best thing for a dog w/questionable hips."
If I had had any idea, I wouldn't have been running her.
"Swimming can improve subluxation, if that's the only issue."
I understand that, but it doesn't really relate to the meat of my question. (She has been swimmed, but this is also her second x-ray and it looked exactly the same a month ago.)
Anyone have advice on whether to breed her or not (and if so, what to)?
Ah, my mistake. I reread what I had written and noted I wasn't clear at all and left info out.
To clarify: Basically, I don't think her score would change for the better no matter how much I swim her or how for long / how many months before she got another x-ray; I'm pretty sure she would come back with minor hip subluxation. So what I'm looking for, really, is to figure out if she "should" be bred, based on everyone's experiences with the matter.
