mild / moderate . . . is correct.....

the problem appears to be more in laxity than in malformation. was the dog coming into heat? is she overweight? what is her physical condition like; fit or inactive? how does she move when walking or running? i'm going to venture a guess that this young lady would benefit from dropping a few pounds and toning up those muscles. other than not breeding her, i would think she could live an active and normal life.

Totally agree w/ziegenfarm. Laxity is the #1 issue here. Tone this dog up and you could have pretty good results as far as living a pretty normal life.

I suspect the evaluation came back "mild" because the dog is 2 years old and while showing some problems, they are fairly minor at this point. (As opposed to showing this level of problems at, say, 10 months old, implying that the problems will only get worse at s/he ages and thus earning a Moderate rating.)
Not hips I'd want to breed, but the dog should hopefully have few problems for most of her life.

First impression is that the sockets are too small for the femoral heads, and yes there is subluxation. The L femoral head is thickening already. But something about that x-ray is confusing to me.... that pelvis is huge compared to the femurs. Is this a GSD?

Elkoor.. I was wondering the same thing!
