I read this online, but am not sure if it is true or not. I know that HD is common for ABs, but I mean about the OFA having lower standards for them. I tried to look on the OFA website but couldn't figure out how to tell.
"Hip Dysplasia is more common in the American Bulldog than in many other breeds. So common, in fact, that the Standard for American Bulldogs, as determined by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, is far lower than that for other breeds. In other words, what would be considered "poor" hips in one breed might be considered "fair" in the American Bulldog. "
Thanks.
