I don't like the socket formation at all.

something is strange about the sockets - first glance they appear deep enough, but second better look they appear - too wide? and not deep enough? or something - anyway the right hip isn't seated deep enough to pass OFA IMO. The left is ok. Positioning looks ok. It is possible the dog may tighten up a bit more in the next year, wouldn't hurt to repeat the x-rays at 2 years old.

I'm presuming BVA here due to scores of parents... - doubt they'll come in under breed average and will be very lopsided.

Mild to moderate due to the right hip. So sorry. Nan

Don't look well seated in sockets to me, JMO, sorry.

once again this looks like more of a laxity problem than malformation.
the muscle tissue that appears on the xray gives the impression that the
dog is extremely lean. if this is the case, i would concentrate on building
some muscle (not fat) to hold the dog together along with moderate
excercise to develop that muscle. a 12 mo old dog can handle 32-34%
protein in a kibble with some meaty bones offered as treats. i would
also agree with re-xray in another 12 mo. hopefully, you can build
some muscle in that time and reduce the amount of laxity shown here.
good luck.
