I checked with my future breeder about the hips rating of his male and female and he said that the male is "good" and female is "fair".
I know there are 7 categories to describe canine hip joints: Excellent, Good, Fair, Borderline, Mild, Moderate, Severe. The "fair" rating is bothering me since it doesn't sound good but still in the middle of the range.
What I would like to ask is if any of you thinks it is ok to buy a puppy when his parents has this kind of a rating or should I look for a different breeder...
Any other information will be helpful.
