Re: How good are ya?

Yes, this is a great teaching thread! Did I miss what Blackie's OFA ratings really were?

Re: How good are ya?

I didn't think OFA was the body who graded these dogs hips-did I miss something(a piece of the thread)?
I was under the assumption these were taken in Europe and sent in for grading there.
I've seen worse positioning on plates here in North America myself with passes and fails.

Re: How good are ya?

Hips?
So here's another one with terrible positioning... what's your thought about these one? Could better positioning have made the hips look better.. than I mean much better?

These hips are scary bad and I don't think positioning would help a wit.

Sorry was away for a few days. Blackie's hips were rated as "severe". Kudos to those who saw this. He is a young dog, so these were prelims. He is a very sound dog. Will probably reshoot at 2 years just to see what we are looking at.

Excellent thread.
