YES. Puppies who's parents have the defect can be and are very likely to have the same defect. It is important to never breed a dog who has this defect, as it can affect the health of all it's puppies, and futer generations of dogs being breed to that line! But it can still make a wonderful house pet and compainon!

Yes, it will be passed on. This is why all reputable breeders of breeds prone to hip dysplasia test the hips of both the prospective sire and dam and will only mate them if both parents have hips with a high rating.
Hip Dysplasia is a really tragic problem and can cut many years off a dogs life. Don't allow it to be passed on.

I'm not religious, but I do have heavy sociological / anthropological background. If you feel the need to "fear" your God, then it's because you feel guilty for something, or you want to feel victimized. Most folks don't fear their God. They love their God. God is like the ultimate leader. As Machiavelli said, a good leader must be both loved and feared. If he is just loved, then people will still do what they want against his wishes at times. If he is just feared, then they won't love their own lives, only doing what he wants out of fear of ramifications. If they love and fear him, then they will do what he wants out of love and respect first, and out of fear second. Let me try to use a different analogy for God... God, in most peoples' eyes, is like a good parent. A good parent uses 2 parts love and 1 part discipline to ensure people lead a good life. 1 part love is unconditional. God loves you unconditionally, because you are his creation. (Just as a parent loves their child unconditionally). 1 part love is for positive reinforcement. God shows you love to reward your good behavior. This is what most folks call "blessings", "miracles", etc. Parents do the same with them children; give them hugs when they succeed. 1 part discipline is used for negative reinforcement. God punishes people when they've been bad. Parents do the same to children. Now, most people will follow a Godly life simply because they respect and love God due to 1 part unconditional love, and 1 part positive reinforcement. If that doesn't work then they fear the 1 part discipline. However, what's "blessing" and "punishment" from God is subjective. Different religions, and even individuals, may see something as a blessing while others see it as a curse. Everyone can see whatever they want into something. When a mother hugs a child, it's pretty tangible that it's a hug. But, when a person finds $5 on the street is that a blessing? What if it just enables them to do something bad? I think the better way to look at God is that he gives people chances. The $5 is an opportunity. How the person chooses to use that opportunity dictates whether it's a "blessing" or "curse".

It's possible but not a certainty. There are genes passed down through generations, and those genes also include allergies and likeliness of diseases. The puppies may be more prone to it, but that does not mean that they will get it. Also, the puppy might get lucky and not inherit the hip dysplasia gene and will have hardly any chance of developing it himself. Also, if you know that one or both of the parents of a puppy had a disease, you should take him to the vet and tell the vet the history of diseases in the puppies family. There's lots of preventative measures to help such things, and preventative maintenence is better than trying to cure something.

Absolutely!! NO DOG with Hip Dysplasia should EVER be bred.
This disease is one of the easiest to test for and eliminate from a breeding program, and it is nothing short of foolish and unethical to knowingly breed a dog with the problem. It is painful for the dog and devastating to the people who buy the puppies, only to find out that they are dysplastic.

YES. Don't breed anything with Hip Dysplasia!!!! HD needs only be on ONE side of the breeding to be passed on, it's a dominant trait.

If the dog has hip displaysia they can and do pass it on to the pups. Even if only one partent has it it can affect the pups.
You should never breed any dog that has a hip rating of anything less than fair. It would be better if only excellent and good were bred.

YES!! It is genetic. That is why if you have a breed that is prone to them you have an OFA test done at 2 years of age. I am waiting on the results for one of my girls. Both of her parents are Excellent so I expect her to be no less than Good. Should she prove to be less than Good or Excellent, she will not be bred but will be spayed instead - even though she comes from a long line of champions.

It's not proven to be genetic but it is likely that some of the puppies will be affected.

Yes. Dogs with hip dysplasia should not be bred. Please spay or neuter her/him.
