I have pasted this info from the UK KC website so it is clear
The hip score is the sum of the points awarded for each of nine aspects of the X-rays of both hip joints. The minimum hip score is 0 and the maximum is 106 (53 for each hip). The lower the score the less the degree of hip dysplasia present. An average (or mean) score is calculated for all breeds scored under the scheme and advice for breeders is to use only breeding stock with scores well below the breed mean score.
So each hip will be scored between 0 & 53
3 x examples of results would be 8:3 2:6 10:19 32:12
each hip score is added together to give a total score e.g. 11 - 8 - 29 - 44
the GSD breed mean score is 18 which would make the third & fourth score above over the acceptable amount for breeding. A Malinois for example has a mean score of 9 which all four examples would be over. For breeding it is desired to stay within the mean score for the breed in question.
The score you state is 10 which is good low score.
Different breed Mean Scores (BMS) are listed below if you are interested
www.bva.co.uk/public/documents/Breed_Specific_Statistics_2012.pdf
The link below shows you average breed scores and a chart for comparing scoring authorities e.g. BVA -FCI -OFA -SV

Hope this helps

More a case of be careful what you wish for; rough diamonds spring to mind.
