OBJECTIVES: To investigate risk factors associated with cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs.METHODS: Retrospective case-control study: medical records of a first-opinion veterinary practice were searched for dogs diagnosed with cranial cruciate ligament rupture (1995 to 2007). For each case, six unaffected dogs were randomly selected from all dogs presenting that day for comparison. Multivariable binary logistic regression was performed to assess the association of variables on likelihood of cruciate rupture.RESULTS: Frequency of cranial cruciate ligament rupture was 1.19% [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02 to 1.36%]. West Highland white terriers (n=17), Yorkshire terriers (n=14) and Rottweilers (n=11) were at significantly increased risk of cranial cruciate ligament rupture (P
