Owner claimed xrays were done a year before submitting, after everything this owner has claimed and put this female through since puppyhood I now doubt very much the xrays were taken a year ago. IMO owner has done damage herself with all this A frame, agility/jumping, man work, running free with adult males, and as a result has xrayed knowing something was not right and chanced her luck hoping to get a refund on a dog she ruined, just my opinion. I firmly believe had this female been brought up correctly the outcome would have been vastly different. I hope breeders remember this owners name when selling puppies.

sorry about previous posts was having a seior moment.

I had a dog and a bitch exrayed on the 12th oct 2010 and there results are on the KC site i think that this tracy has NOT sent in her exrays and is trying her luck.

Since the owner was QUICK to bad mouth and accuse I would have thought they would be concerned that the results were not on the KC site as yet. Certainly if this was MY dog I would know WHY, but since it is not I am asking the owner why they have not been as quick to ask the KC as they were to spout their nasties all over the main forum. OKAY with you????

"This is now the 3rd of November and checking the KC web site there is still no record of this females official hip score. WHY?????"

Maybe ask the KC they are afterall the ones that update the database

This is now the 3rd of November and checking the KC web site there is still no record of this females official hip score. WHY?????

Surely the Club where this woman took her puppy at 6 months to train should have known better also not to allow a pup of this age to jump of styles etc! Didn't someone write in the thread that this was Fife Schutzhund? I would have thought that the people running this type of extreme sport would have the expertise in knowing what this could potentially do to a puppy's hips.
This is NOT forgiving the way the woman handled the situation which I personally think is deplorable.

Said from the start this Tracey Macauley wasn't being 100% with her story. New full well there was way more to this, glad we all now have a face to go with the name!!! Shame on you TRACEY MACAULEY!!!!

Please view Photo Gallery!!

Owner submitted this female with comment "To Bad to Breed."

Breeder uploaded photo's with the reply "YES, BUT OBVIOUSLY GOOD ENOUGH TO WORK AND FROM LESS THAN 6mths OLD!!!"

i have seen pictures of this bitch going over jumps a frame etc when she was around 5 months old i dont think this would help her hips any

I have also tried this dogs name several times in the Kennel club database, so far no results. On the main forum here this owner stated in reply to me that the results were there from 10/10/10.

Owner still submitting these claims without proof. Checked Kennel Club online database and to date there are no health checks listed as been performed under this name either. No Vienna, no Venessa, just how many names does this owner claim this dog has? Have to agree with
Missbeeb, you cant fix stupid.

The parents & grandparents of this female have the best hip grade in Germany - 'a' normal

The breeder has done everything possible to ensure excellent hips in this litter.

The nature of the disease hip dysplasia (HD) is such that NO breeder can guarantee that any litter bred from such excellent hip grades can result in the whole litter having excellent hip grades.

All a breeder can do is be reasonably confident that the chances of excellent hip grades in the offspring from such a mating, is significantly improved.

Stupid, irresponsible owners! Jumping a puppy & allowing it unlimited exercise running with other dogs!
Giving the breeder less than 3 days to respond, when she's nursing a terminally ill dog!
DON'T SELL ANYTHING TO THESE PEOPLE... YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

I have not been on here for months as I have been otherwise engaged.
However, reading the thread and this pedigree I was moved enough to comment.
This person is obviously on a personal vendetta now.
She was sold this pup in good faith and from reading other comments about this woman I am afraid it should have been the Breeder that was to be wary!
Shocking. This person bought this bitch to try to make money by breeding her and is now pissed off because of the high hip score. BREEDERS< DO NOT SELL THIS WOMAN A DOG........she is obviously in it for the wrong reasons.

Is this what you call resolving the issue with your breeder? This kind of crap speaks volumes about you. So you got a high hip score, shit happens, you're not the first or the last. Or is it the loss of finance now you won't get puppies out of her. Go love your dog, and sort it out with the breeder going through proper procedure. I actually feel sorry for your female, not for her hips but having you as an owner now she is no longer a commodity what next?
