Re: Akita Pup

Hi
I must admit I would only by a dog thats parents had been hip scored but that is mho. Even if the parents hip scores are a little over the average you can make an informed decision. I can see why you are a little worried most ethical breeders would have there dogs scored I think most breeds have hip displacia problem therefore most should have hip scores done ( obviously there must be the odd exception of breeds) I think you must go with what you are happy to do. If you are buying a pup and are considering breeding then I would not buy the pup due to its parents not being hip scored. You could be lucky and the pup will be fine but these scores are there for a good reason. I must admit with that cute little face the decision will be a tricky one. Let us know what you decide
