Hip scores for Mals Health

I've tried searching on google but cant seem to find Malamutes average hip score

so just wondering what it is and also is a 3/3 and a 4/4 good scores? (2 different dogs)

Thanks

At 1st Jan 2006 I think the average breed mean score for Mals was 13 (2007 version not yet published).

Yes 3:3 & 4:4 are very good scores.

Thanks

so 13 is when both sides are added together ie 6/7 ??
and if its any higher than 13(by a large amount) the dog/ pups from that dog should be avoided??

Just found it for you.

At 1st Jan 2006 433 Mals had been scored, the range was 0-69, the breed mean score was 13 & the median was 11.

Here is the link: http://www.bva.co.uk/public/chs/bms2006.pdf

Yes its the total when both hips are added together. So the 3:3 dog has a toal of 6 (7 points below the breed mean score) all breeding stock should really have a total score under that of a breed mean score there fore anyone selling pups whose parents have more than a score of 13 should be avoided as the chance of the pups hips then being over the breed mean score is increased.

Hope that makes sence.

Yup it does, thanks very much
