HD ED Opinion - Page 1

Hi,

Just X-rayed my GSD, 18 months old and i would like to ask opinions on her hips/elbows and wath rate do you think she will get.

Thank you

Fair and maybe good on the hips due to shallow socket on one of the hips .. from what I can see the elbows are normal??  The pics could be larger.  One hip seems shallower and smaller but that could be the positioning .. I can't see the hips going lower than fair?? 

thank you for your reply. Here's a bigger Hips picture:

Perhaps the dog was rotated and the R hip was further from the plane of the X-ray making the left hip appear larger and the right hip smaller??  Otherwise the positioning looks good but the right hip on the image looks smaller and possibly due to being rotated may appear or in fact have less coverage of the ball in the socket and a less smooth ball.  However some of the difference between the left and right hip could be the X-Ray plane being out of the plane of the hips.  My guess is fair to good on the hips .. the left hip looks excellent to me .. perhaps the socket could be deeper but I think the left goes good-excellent and the right hip goes good-fair.  Probably good hips and possibly fair.

Concur, fair to good, right hip looks good, left hip fair, both appear passing.

OFA preliminary good hips. SV A1. Normal elbows.

Good hips, normal elbows IMO

Thank you all for your opinions!

just received the results from the SV so i tough it would good to post them here.

HD got A- Normal but Elbows got Noch Zugelassen wich i wasn't expecting at all...

EDITED

a3 is passing and definitely not the end of the world. As far as we know half the ancestors of our dogs may have rated a3 elbows, we don't know since they only started doing elbows 10 years ago I believe.

The papers will state if it's one or both elbows as well as why it was rated that way. Usually osteophytes (bone spur(s)) less than 2mm (.07 inches) is the reason according to the SV, from what I understand.

Here's info on what they look for:
