What I Cannot Help With
- Individual dog consultations: I cannot provide specific veterinary advice for your dog's elbow condition. Please consult your local veterinarian or veterinary orthopedic specialist.
- Certification interpretation: Questions about specific certification numbers or results should be directed to the issuing registry (OFA, BVA/KC, national kennel club).
- Breeder recommendations: I do not maintain breeder referral lists or endorse specific breeding programs.
- Legal disputes: I cannot provide expert testimony or opinions for legal matters involving health guarantees or breeding contracts.
Location
The Elbow Score Database is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. This is an online resource only; no physical office visits are available.
For Veterinary Professionals
If you are a veterinary professional with screening data from your practice or region that could contribute to breed prevalence estimates, I particularly welcome your contact. Anonymized aggregate data from any geographic region helps improve the accuracy and representativeness of this database.
