Yeah after they die. She had her top dog posted and sectioned so his angles could be measured

Hey, to each his own. LOL

Valuable info, no? I mean, despite the gruesome method...science isn't always pretty. I just wanted to clarify that was what you meant.

Blitzen,

OFA's response:

Unpublished data from OFA indicates that less than 5% of OFA normal dogs, 24 to 36 months of age, initially fail on a later re-evaluation. Most of this 5% were initially graded with fair hip joint conformation.

Thank you.
