What is
considered when
rating hips and
elbows:
The following
films are provided for your viewing and
for the continued education of my puppy
clients
to make them aware of what
your pup's reading for ratings entails, when taking your Schraderhaus
pup
in to comply with the 12-15
month films and for their
final 24-26 month films.
To
start...
This is what your puppy's
skeletal structure looks like
@ 2
weeks of age.
So you can
see, there is ALOT of
growing to do, and owners need to insure
they make the correct decisions for your
pups by way of feeding, exercise, and
environment
in order to give them
the best possible start during their
growing stages.

revealing a very shallow
acetabulum on dog's right side,
with thickening and flattening
of femoral head and neck on this
dogs right side. The dog's
left side shows a severely
discintegratedsocket /femoral
head
& neck with left hip
free floating, with the femoral
head
being completely eroded away from damage..

Very badly thickened and
malformed femoral heads and
necks.
True, this is a poor
position for OFA Rating of the
dog, but this
dog is dysplastic
and position would not have
changed this
dog's rating
outcome . |

overlap for OFA Grades into those
ratings from other countries.
