What breed is this?

Does Kim have another breed besides GSDs?

This was originally posted under American Bull Dog, now switched to main. I don't know how many or which breeds she has.

Me neither. That's why I asked. I didn't see it was under AB.

I do have a serious question about some things said in this thread - even if a supplement would prevent the development of HD which I doubt or improved a dysplastic hip to the point that it could get an a stamp or OFA number, it doesn't change the dog's genes so that dog will still be genetically dysplastic and will produce it. Wouldn't that be a false negative and what would be the point of that?

I think i have my people mixed up? CMills has a bulldog as well as shepherds and Stiasmom commented on the same thread, Long Haired Bulldogs. Regardless, i can't realy see much detail in this image. So i can't really make much of a guess. I wish i'd goeen a snapshot of my dog's film since she just came back OFA good.

I'm not familiar with ABD hips and this xray may be perfectly normal for that breed and age. If it's a GSD I don't think a better xray is going to make the hips look normal for breed and age. The xray is overexposed, but diagnostic IMO.

I could only see a supplement working to repair an injury; I don't see how it would change genetically dysplastic hips. If genes formed the hips poorly, I don't think anything would help to enough of a degree to worry about falsely representing hips as healthy, but if a joint were damaged like in this case, being stepped on very early on, then I could see where helping the body expediently repair damage could result in a better looking xray, but then, if that's the case, I would argue that the dog wasn't really dysplastic so much as damaged.

An orthopedic surgeon should know if hip conformation is the result of an accident.
I too doubt that any supplement can make good hips out of dysplastic ones, but that's the marketing line used by the seller of this supplement.
