Popis:	The occurrence of osteochondrosis in a breeding colony of labrador retrievers during an 11-year period was investigated. Management practices and environmental factors were similar for all dogs. In 1247 progeny, elbow lameness was recorded in 259 dogs (21 per cent) and lesions of osteochondrosis on the coronoid process and, or, medial condyle of the humerus were confirmed in 189 dogs (15 per cent). None of 39 labrador crossbred dogs were affected. The incidence in progeny varied between different sires and dams and was associated with the severity of radiographic evidence of elbow arthritis in sires and dams with dams contributing significantly more than sires, suggesting a ‘maternal’ effect.
