I have had four over the years come back grade 1 (interestingly enough, the
first later went right through OVC, and after that I didn't bother w/ the
rest).
The oldest is 6 or 7 now. I co-owned her after she had finished, x-rayed
her at almost 60 months before I bred her and one elbow came back grade 1.
To
my knowledge, she never limped a day in her life.
The next oldest will be 7 this coming June. Finished easily, never limped,
he's an active dog w/ 2 herding titles, and pretty as a picture coming at
you
(he's also the one that got the OVC #/letter).
I know it's not a popular sentiment, but I really don't think the OFA has a
clue what to do with DJD in elbows. My vets won't even call it. They'll
take a picture, use the special light the OFA is supposedly using to read
them
then make a funny face:)

I've had 2 come back over the years with DJD Gr 1 in one elbow...Both are
certified with the OVC. Both dogs have never limped a day in their lives and
one is almost 11 yrs. old...she blind from pannus but hasnt limped.
