• Copies of Hip & Elbow dysplasia x-ray grading to be supplied, with the highest hip being no more than 50% of the breed average. Elbows to be no higher than 1:1.
Note: We recognise that the Australian Shepherd breed currently has an exceptionally low breed average and therefore individuals of outstanding merit should not be discounted in breeding programs if their hip score is marginally over the 50% rule. Breeding partners for such individuals should be significantly under the 50% rule.
