Dog Health Group report 2014 HIP SCORES BY BREED Data Calculated to 01/11/14 The following is an annual summary that is now prepared for the BVA, covering all breeds, using data from the current approximated breeding population (data from dogs scored in the last 15 years only). By representing dogs scored in the last 15 years, a more accurate reflection of each breed s current state of health and improvement is given. The 5-year median here refers to dogs scored between 1st November 2009 and 31st October 2014. Previously mean has been denoted as Breed Mean Score (BMS), however to be in keeping with the most up to date BVA recommendations and reduce confusion, Mean and Median are now used.
