Clinical confirmation of the disorder is based on hip X-ray imaging. Twenty Tornjak dogs aged between 9-36 months, and weighted from 35-42 kg were examined for CHD. Scoring was performed according to six clearly defined radiographic parameters by Flueckiger method (5). Dysplastic changes of various severity were observed in 11 dogs, while in 9 dogs changes were absent. The study describes 4 CHD cases of varying degrees of severity. The results indicate the presence of CHD in Bosnian Tornjak. Determining the incidence of dysplasia in this autochthonous breed requires a more detailed study, which will enable determination of the prevalence of dysplasia and analysis of the relationship to other dog breeds.</span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 110%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="line-height: 110%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-ansi-language: HR; mso-fareast-language: HR; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Key words: canine hip dysplasia, Bosnian Tornjak</span></span>
