I would say YES. I was always under the understanding that they should not be within 6 weeks either side of a season. Belief being that hormones causes sublixation in the joints. I would say if the bitch is worth it redo and resubmit. I did have to do one that was in heat and she got a fair. Would she have gotten a Good if not in heat? Probably. But at that point it was a number .

I know of a 2 yr old GSD bitch (not one of mine) who was in season when her owner took her in for OFA xrays. The bitch ended up with an OFA hip grade of Mild. Is there any hope of this girl getting a Fair if resubmitted when she's out of season? Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Just wondering.
