No but NO NO breeding any dog with mild hip dyslpasia
The reason for xraying is to stop breedings of dogs that have it .
We know in our backgrounds there are a lot who never paid any attention to the xray decisions and this is why it is so hard to fathom anyone doing it KNOWING the hips are bad
Many years of bad decisions still pop up for all of us, becasue someone DID breed a dog or two with hips that were mild or worse.

Just to make a long story short >>>
A puppy I sold at 8 months old she was hip xrayed 2 weeks later and the buyers vet diagnosed Hip Dysplasia and they had her euthanized I later was able to obtain a photo of the xray and has it evaluated by a specialist and she had excellent hips with a score of 2 : 4.
So please have the xray evaluated by a qualified radiologist.

2.) Mild hip dysplasia, while meaning the dog should not be bred does not mean the dog cannot go on and be a good dog as a pet or even in some competition (Obedience, tracking and so forth).
I know of a few dogs with Mild HD that made top of the line dogs to own. Lots of things knock dogs out of the breeding arena.. from structural genetic issues (such as Hip Dysplasia) to temperament issues such as too soft, or lacking nerve or too little drive or even too much drive. Most dogs should NOT be bred for a LOT of reasons. Mild HD is just one of those reasons.
A dog that is not of quality for breeding (MOST ARE NOT IMO) can still be a darn fine dog.

I would not bred mild HD but here is food for thought.
first:
Show us the x ray.
Who diagnosed it?
Was the dog properly positioned?
Was the film clear?
How old is the dog?
Under what system / scale was this determined?
and maybe :
Was the dog injured on the questionable leg?
Oh yes and do you realize that noch zugelssen 2/2 and such is OFA mild HD and many breed it? Is that OK?
Before I have these info and answers, I can not give you an answer.

If the dog has mild HD, then absolutley not.....BUT.....
Did OFA read her radiograph or was it your vet? Some vets don't read x-rays that well. Other factors, like those stated above, can also affect your result. I would redo the x-ray and get a 2nd oppinion.
