Please give an opinion on this X-ray. Considering if it would be worth while to send it in to Germany and try to get an a-stamp.

This dog might get an NZ.

Need to see knees. SV might not even take that X-ray. If the hip on the right side of the screen was seated better, you may get NZ or even A-2, depending on how much the proper positioning changed the appearance. But without the knees, I'm guessing, based on the angles. Need to see those knees to make a more accurate guess of what might happen at the SV.

I will say they've been picky the last couple years as far as quality. I saw a very nice set of xrays get refused for a rotation issue. They weren't perfect, but they were better than 75% of what gets posted on here and they wouldn't grade them.

A better xray might help, but the hip on the right of the xray is shallow and there is some remodeling of the neck. I wouldn't count on anything better than an A2 and IMO most likely it will be an NZ - mild HD.
