Penn HIP - University Of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program

Penn Hip is the only method for checking the hips in our dogs that we will use.  We feel that it is the most accurate and scientific way to assess hips in dogs.  We love the fact that three different views are used for evaluation.  Our vet, Dr. Haase also provides us with a CD showing all three of these views that we keep in each of our dogs files.  This helps us and is one of the many factors taken into consideration in the decision making process when planning our breeding plans.
