Thank you so enlightening. Since my terrier has been having more 'wild' exercise her confidence and well-being seem to be so much better now. Having read this I feel I haven't just imagined it
So good! Great to have robust, science based advice to work off next time we’re lucky enough to welcome a new puppy into our family. I now realise that what we were told in the past were just half truths at best, and dangerous myths at worst! 😳
Excellent, thanks very much.That is probably the most well researched and presented CZcams video I have seen. My parents had a 2 year old guide dog that could not complete its training due to a joint issue, its training and excercise regime had been perfect.
University of Florida researchers crossed dysplastic Labradors and normal greyhounds to produce a colony of hybrid ‘greyadors’. Around half of first-generation greyadors developed hip dysplasia, but crossing first-generation greyadors with greyhounds reduced the incidence to 1 in 38 - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12693530/
University of Pennsylvania researchers showed that lean Labradors had a 5-fold lower risk of hip dysplasia, a significantly lower risk of arthritis, less severe chronic pain (which occurred relatively later in life), and an average lifespan which was 1·8 years longer than their overweight littermates - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11110459/
Most pet dogs diagnosed with clinical hip dysplasia suffered long term clinical signs. Owner assessments suggested that 42-66% of affected dogs experienced lasting effects, while veterinary experts identified physical abnormalities in 71-96% - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17435096/
Puppies who ran a daily marathon 5 days/week for a year showed no evidence of developmental joint disease. The only difference between marathon-running puppies and a control group was focal superficial cartilage matrix change - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7692860/
The Rarámuri, whose children and teenagers participate in a long-distance running tradition have significantly lower rates of joint disease compared to Australian Aboriginal communities where children and adolescents don't have a similar running tradition - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7692860/
A 1975 study funded by the NIH found that crate-confined German shepherd dog puppies were less likely than unrestricted puppies to develop hip dysplasia. The author’s actual conclusion - that a wide-based stance limits dysplasia - might have evolved into the fallacy that exercise restriction prevents hip dysplasia - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1224531/
A study of 325 Swedish Labradors provides precisely no evidence that chasing sticks and balls causes abnormal joint development - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16772494/

Fantastic talk, very well presented and great to have the references. Dispelled some myths for me!
A good and outstanding presentation in an easy-to-understand language. Thanks a lot.

Another outstanding review from Master Farrell. Keep it going please :)

Thanks, Jo 🙏

I’m very glad it was helpful. Have fun with your puppy!
