Laitinen O Calcification of the intervertebral discs and curvature of the radius and ulna A radiographic survey of Finnish miniature dachshunds. Acta vet. scand. 2001 42 229-236. - The vertebral column of 124 randomly selected miniature dachshunds representing of the population registered by the Finnish Kennel Club during the years 1988 to 1996 were radiographed. The front legs were also radiographed in order to evaluate the curvature of the radius and ulna. Calcified discs were found in of the longhaired miniature dachshunds and in of the wirehaired ones. The occurrence of signs associated with IDD was in longhaired and in wirehaired miniature dachshunds. The occurrence of signs of IDD in dogs with calcified discs was and in longhaired and wirehaired miniature dachshunds respectively. In dogs without calcifications only one dog showed signs of IDD. The curvature of the radius and the ulna did not differ between the dogs with signs of IDD and the healthy ones or between the dogs with and without intervertebral calcifications. Our results indicate that radiographic eradication based on the presence of intervertebral calcifications is not suitable for breeding purposes for the Finnish miniature dachshund population because the percentage of dogs without calcifications is small. disease vertebral column radius-ulna radiology dog survey chondrodystrophy breeding.
