Thank you Jen
Your advice had a large part in my decision to go forward with the surgery
at this time. I went to two different specialists, read all that I could on
the possible prognosis for him and decided to do it now while heâs healthy.
This is a huge blow to my breeding program as his lines were lines that
would have melded beautifully with my female. I have found an older version
of the line (actually would be my dogâs great-great uncle) and Iâm hoping
that the genetic flaw has come from another line that was introduced
afterward.
The surgeon who treated him thinks that if all heals as it should that he
will have a good life even though we will not be doing IPO or agility with
him. He will be doing competitive tracking (in both CKC and SV), his BH,
his CD, his RN and herding. I may also throw him into an altered class or
two as he is stunning. And if that isnât enough to keep him busy, he will
be the regular watchdog here to report in on any squirrels, chipmunks,
groundhogs, deer, bear and moose that pass through the property.

Just chiming in from a medical view:
The Anconeal processes fuse between 4-6 months of age. Sadly, there's not a
darned thing we as owners can do to prevent it either; it's a developmental
disease.
If all the other pups are radiographed and found clean, they are okay.
Kinda scary to think ALL dogs run around for the first 4-6 months with their
Anconeal processes ununited !!!
I have known a few dogs with UAP who run around their entire lives and never
see a lame day. Sadly, I have also seen dogs be crippled by it as well. I
hope your boy is one of the former and does well that he had the surgery.

I just had a 17 month male xrayed for his hips and elbows in order to send
to the SV for certification for breeding. The hips were excellent.
Unfortunately, the elbows both showed UAP. He had never had a lame day in
his life. There was no evidence of elbow problems in his pedigree and the
balance of the litter has not shown evidence of UAP YET.
He had not shown any evidence of Pano.
