Just learned today that the elbow films that I sent to OVC were rated "this animal does not have radiographic evidence of elbow dysplasia." These same elbows were rated normal by OFA on prelims and DJD Grade 1 by OFA at age 2. From now on I'm paying the $5 that OFA wants at time of submission in order to get films returned to me and any that OFA rates as DJD are going to Canada. I think (and apparently OVC does too), that DJD grade 1 elbows are perfectly normal. So now it's OFA "Good" hips, OVC "normal" elbows for Windy Acres' Hunka Burnin' Luv V J-Lyn (10 bred-by points, one major).
