does anyone know how i get hold of the book with all the heart scored boxers for the uk ?? as the scheme is run from the bva not the kc the results are not printed in the breed supplement and i have heard of this book but have no idea where to obtain a copy
Thanks

You could try a breed club or the breed council but all owners would have had to agree to it being published otherwise I expect there would be a problem with data protection as your Boxer's score is your property unless you sign away the right to keep it to yourself. The fact that you must agree to the hip and eye scrores being published may cause some owners not to score their stock, giving all sorts of reasons for not doing so, but I belive that because they have no control over publishing of the result after the score is known they prefer not to score the dog at all.

hello jackie, i know there is a book published with the heart scores in as it has been mentioned to me by several stud owners, i have also overheard that there is an updated version out in august ?? they must collaborate all the scores otherwise how else do you check which studs are scored ?? will try the breed club though

Thats good, you should be able to get hold of one then, why not ask one of the stud dog owners who mentioned it to you. Jackie H

Heres a link for names and scores of heart tested boxers. Not sure how upto date it is mind.

cheers bec !!! just what i wanted ! chloe is not on there yet but they say allow 90 days but she was done the end of January ?? have to chase that up with the cardiologist. thanks again

You should be able to get hold of the booklets at the breed shows.
(the London & Home Counties Show at Bisley in June normally have
some for sale) or contact the Breed Council's secretary Mr David Webb.
He should be able to help you out, I know the Boxer Quarterly also sells them I think it's Keith Jump that you'd need to speak to.

Kind Regards
