But, that is probably true for all breeds, so if the stats are meaningless for
one they are meaningless for all, which may make then not meaningless at all!
My logic may be faulty. Linda thinks so when she wants something really bad….

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Q: OFA H&E Statistics by Breed
Personally, OFA stats are pretty much meaningless are far as the state of the
breed. Who submits bad x rays for eval? People submit good or mild/marginal x
rays. The mild/marginal ones with the hope that the OFA will see them
differently and pass them. I think that the breeds Evan mentioned are much
tighter communities and more collectively cooperative.
Just my thoughts. Cynthia. vande001@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:vande001@xxxxxxxxx>

This makes sense. When the OFA was founded, the GSDCA was a big contributor.
We worked hard to eliminate or reduce hip dysplasia, and went about as far as
we could.
We now are holding, and we may never reduce it further.

Incidentally, GSDs are 38th for prevalence of hip dysplasia as noted by OFA,
recent years.
It's interesting to look at breeds that have drastically improved hips in
recent decades. Beaucerons, Akitas, Bernese Mountain Dogs,
