kerry - the first post you did was in a quote box - not sure if you answered anything in there with it or not - just confused everyone 

[Val]

Yes especially if we count the pups

Val i know you've probably said this a load of times but i can'tseen to find it on the board. Where is a good place to get a dog hip/elbow scored and whats the average cost??

[Val]

Depends where you live I know someone in Southampton that does it without GA if you want to go that far mail me and I will give you her number.
The vets prices depend on the area but also how many they do ask Dodgers breeder would be my advice she will know

i doubt one of my parents are willing to drive me 6 hours away (if only i was 17 )
but i never thought about my breeder! will ask her thanks 

[**mandy+niko**]

ive just rang my vets and they do it in morpeth or blyth, it's 50 pound then you got the sedation fee on top off that and that depends on the weight of the dog 

[.dodger.]

If you do it without the GA do you then just need you dog to lie still??

[**mandy+niko**]

niko aint going to lie still at all!  he will have to have a GA 

[Sweetypye]

The dog must be either under GA or sedated, very few dogs would stay still without either especially during the hip scoring because of how they stretch the hing legs out.

[.dodger.]

so could you ask your vet to sedate him instead of GA?  i really don't want to put him under unless it's nessercery (wish i could spell )

[Sweetypye]

Some vets will not sedate and only give GA, some will do either, but you MUST organise this BEFORE you take dog in.

okay thanks! i'll see what my breeder says and then i'll give me vet a ring 
do you know if getting their elbows done is the same price as their hips? and what about hemophillica (the blood thing i sooo can't spell )
