Good to excellent hips depending on age, no idea on elbows.

Hips look good, can't tell on elbows, sorry bout that... Just do not have enough elbow experience but I do no think they need to be flexed that much, thought they wanted them at a 45 degree angle? Not sure on that though. Best of luck and will you please let us know when you receive results. Thank you Nan

Hips look good to me I do question the left elbow. I don't have as much experience with them so hope those that do will tell you they also look good.

Hips looks excellent,but elbows I don't think will pass.

Hips look good/excellent to me. I can't speak on the elbows because I haven't educated myself on how they're scored yet. I'd love for somebody to explain or to post a chart of how they're graded.

The thing is, Reliya, elbows *aren't* graded, and that's why many prefer the SV system and others to OFA. They simply pass or fail. Now, they grade failing elbows, but not passing. Riddle me that. This is the very short version. This thread isn't the place for a lengthy elbow debate but search here for "grade 1" elbows and there should be a lot of info about the grading standards and what is allowed to squeak by and what fails. I believe, last I checked, an osteophyte must be less than 1mm for a passing elbow grade.
