Dog Walker
I know this may sound silly but I have horses and sold my walker. Now I have been wondering if there is a dog hot walker...for the purpose of activity and health. I know the treadmill is used and it seems like a dog could easily be trained for a hot walker.

suggestion for breeders
The thread below re: the vet's manipulation of a young pup's hips got me to thinking... I had an experience with a vet who pushed really hard for a simultaneous surgery - JPS procedure and spay - at the age of 17 weeks, all in the name of "preventing hip dysplasia a...

OFA xray on prego?
Is it safe and has anyone ever xrayed a bitch for OFA clearances who MIGHT be a couple of days pregnant? I am aware that being in heat can possibly change hip readings. This girl had very nice prelims at 14 months. I also know I could wait. So, biggest concern...

When doing a surgical, what is the best day to do the implant? I am finding much conflicting information. What should the progesterone read, and does it make a difference when you do the implant whether it is frozen, chilled, or fresh from the spigot?

OFA's-digital or film?
Trying to figure out which will give you a better chance at a good OFA score. Can some of you post your results, and whether your vet sent in digital pictures electronically, or actual film xrays.
