positioning could be much better (pelvis not straight, knees should be turned in not out) - and I noticed the femur necks right away - they seem short/thick.  Sockets seem shallow.  But seating is "ok" so IMO they should pass. I may be wrong though if OFA decides the sockets and necks are less than desireable.

i mentioned this before in another thread, but........
it looks to me like sometimes in positioning the dog that they are pulling down on the legs
more than they are rotating inward.  these knees are obviously turned out.  the ligaments
are going to hold the femur head somewhat stable, but if there is suffient tension on the legs
i believe it would appear very much like this xray.  it could be that they are trying to push the legs
down flatter onto the table.  that might give this appearance as well.  i wish i knew what was going
on, but without seeing..........
just seems to me that a lot of the xray pics posted here look like the legs are being drawn down.
i think it makes quite a difference in how they look.
