a result of inbreeding,

No, it isn't.

that is, breeding dogs that are too closely
related. If you want to get into more detail than that, you will have
to ask a geneticist.

I *am* a geneticist, but Robin N. pretty much covered the points I was
going to make.

If you are trying to pin me down by making me
say that all inbred pups will develop this condition, there is no way
I could do that. But if you want to avoid this condition, then I would
say that by not breeding dogs too closely related would be the way to
go.

Actually, breeding nondysplastic dogs is the way to go.
