I think you did answer your own question, Cindy. Look harder at the
pedigree, you will find the answers. If you have a bitch (or that matter, a
stud)
who has a decent x-ray, but can't get a "number", and you've checked his
pedigree and found solid good OFA numbers all around, then the chances are your
litters will be free. On the other hand, a Perfect Stud or Bitch who has an
OFA
# but the pedigree is lacking in good numbers and the information on
littermates isn't that good throughout the pedigree... Well, THAT dog probably
has less
of a chance of producing good hips/elbows...don't you think?
