Irish Setter Hip Scores - Z

Below is a list of Kennel Club registered dogs of the breed specified above, together with their sire and dam, giving the date that they were hip scored, the score for the right hip, the score for the left hip and the total hip score for each dog. The maximum score for each hip is 53 making the total possible 106. There is a breed mean score (BMS) for each breed, and breeders are encouraged to use only dogs and bitches with scores well below the BMS for breeding. Further information on this scheme can be obtained from The Kennel Club or the British Veterinary Association. This report contains all those hip scores that have been sent to The Kennel Club by the British Veterinary Association (B.V.A) since September 1991, and all those dogs tested prior to September 1991 which scored 8 or below (with no more than 6 scoring on one hip). Prior to September 1991, dogs scoring more than 8 (or those which had scored more than 6 on one hip) were not sent to The Kennel Club for publication and would therefore not appear in this report.
