Woah everyone pump the damn brakes.
Your dog should be able to hunt, if you address this as dictated by the severity...
Step 1- medical management with rest, NSAIDS (for dogs), weight loss (thin body condition), joint-focused diet (hills metabolic mobility or jd, Purina I’m)
Step 2- surgical options include FHO vs THR- probably too late for a JPS
Step 3- keep you dog thin for it’s life
Go to an orthopedic surgeon. Your dog will be able to hunt, just likely won’t have as long of a career or be able to go on hunts that are as demanding. Shoot me a pm if you wanna chat
Never confuse enthusiasm for capability
