I have no faith in the DJD diagnosis. I had a male dog who was a real baby.
He supposedly had DJD but never limped on it. He lived to be 11. Died of
kidney failure.
Have a bitch now who has DJD, supposedly. She's 6 now, and no
signs/symptoms. She stopped jumping and I thought we might be having a
problem, but it turns out she had a ruptured anal gland. :(
Both of the dogs mentioned had really great shoulders, with really nice
front reach. The bitch probably more so than the dog. At 6 years old now,
she will still make you catch your breath when she takes out in that big,
extended flying trot.

Makes me wonder how many good animals were sold as pets or destroyed because
of OFA and DJD?
Now when we talk Osteochondritis dessicans (OCD), ununited anconeal process
(UAP), and fragmented coronoid process (FCP).to me that's true elbow
dysplasia.
