Hi guys, first time posting here.

Anyone mind giving their opinions on these x-rays?
Vet called them "fair". Dog is basically a companion animal, so I didn't bother sending them in to the OFA.

My appologies, I just realized that two of those were the same x-ray. Added the last one (and probably the better of the 3).

Positioning isn't great, and may be the reason for the laxity seen on the left (right in the pic) hip. But, overall I think they look very nice - certainly passing OFA - with a better x-ray they could be Good IMO. I agree with Fair due to the apparent laxity in the left hip.

Thank you!

No, the positioning isn't all that great.
But I promised myself I wasn't going to rip any hair out over it unless it was something serious!

The positioning is OK,the hips should pass and appear Good.

I'd say they'd go OFA fair thanks to the positioning and the left hip having some laxity.

How old is this dog? I think they look pretty good, of course left hip could be deeper in the socket to get a good; overall probably will get a fair.

That left hip would look deeper if the knee were turned correctly and the leg was positioned properly. "Fair" at absolute worst- better xray might give a "good."

nothing to worry about.

Thanks again guys.

Nans, he's 2 years.
