Growth and skeletal development in great dane pups fed different levels of protein intake
R. C. Nap,Herman A.W. Hazewinkel,George Voorhout,Walter E. van den Brom,Sinus A. Goedegebuure,Arie Th. Van 'T Klooster +5 more
TL;DR: The role of dietary protein, especially with regard to calcium metabolism and skeletal development, in large breed-dogs is reported in this article and a causative role for dietary protein in the development of osteochondrosis in dogs is unlikely.

Results of extra-articular stabilisation following open reduction of coxofemoral luxation in dogs and cats
TL;DR: This extra-articular stabilisation technique had excellent results in acute and chronic coxofemoral luxations in dogs when multifilamentous non-absorbable material was used, even when no additional non-weightbearing sling was used.

45Ca kinetics in growing miniature poodles challenged by four different dietary levels of calcium.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the 0.33 g/100 g of Ca diet did not meet the minimal requirements for growth in small breed dogs, and both low and high dietary Ca caused effects on Ca metabolism similar to those previously observed in giant breed dogs.

Prevalence and co-occurrence of hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia in Dutch pure-bred dogs
Ineke C M Lavrijsen,Henri C M Heuven,Björn P. Meij,L. F. H. Theyse,R. C. Nap,Peter A. J. Leegwater,Herman A.W. Hazewinkel +6 more
TL;DR: Phenotypic and genetic trends since 2001 for the four most scored breeds were slightly positive but decreasing over time, indicating that selection over the past decade has not been effective.

A radiographic study on the development of the antebrachium in great dane pups, raised under standardized conditions
TL;DR: It is concluded that the delicate processes that are involved in skeletal development may be frequently disturbed in fast growing, giant-breed dogs, without causing clinical problems.
