Abstract
The association between breed, sex and canine heart valve incompetence was investigated by means of an observational study of a veterinary clinic population. Odds ratio estimations revealed statistically significant positive associations between some small and medium‐sized breeds and heart valve incompetence, and significant negative associations between some large breeds and heart valve incompetence. The log odds, determined for each breed and sex, indicated that males were more susceptible than females.Keywords
