Haven't read all this thread cause some of the responses make my head hurt.
Are bad hips genetics or diet? The right answer is both. Puppies being xrayed for good hips is kind of stupid. While you may see shallow joints, it really doesn't mean they will have hip dysplasia. Now if that puppy is fed the wrong diet and gets over weight, then it greatly increases their chances. I have never seen anyone say they will pay for surgery to fix a dog's hips. That shite gets crazy expensive. Both parents certified, good diet and proper care plus a hip guarantee all bode well, but nothing is 100%.
