Hi all,

Can someone please explain the hip scores for me . I know it is to do with the dog/bitch's likelihood of developing hip problems later in life but is it low or high scores that are good?? I only ask this as the puppies I have seen advertised as coming from great parent stock have widely differing scores.

Regards,

Graham

Check this OFA website. At the bottom of the page are the equivalent values of other organizations. http://www.offa.org/hipgrade.html
The OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) grades them as Excellent, Good, Fair, Bad, etc.
