I guess that's what I'm asking. I always used either OFA or OVC.
Loved OVC BTW, quick turn around. We "lost" OVC.
Surfing the web today, looking at someone's dog I learned (news to me) that
as far as A stamps there are 3 levels of passing scores for elbows: a1,
"normal", a2 "fast normal" and a3 "acceptable for breeding". But I can't
find a comparison to OFA's elbow scores.
Does anybody know what would cause a dog's elbow scores to be bumped to an
a2 or a3? I am guessing DJD (can't imagine any of the more serious elbow
conditions getting any sort of passing rating, but I could be wrong).
I WOULD use a dog w/ DJD1 BTW and have. I have sent some lovely pics to
OFA over the years that have come back w/ DJD1.

In my opinion, the only elbow rating that is acceptable is Normal. I
have not seen an SV rating of elbows that specifies DJD. I personally would
not consider a dog for breeding that did not have Normal elbows. The hip
rating is another story. I will use a dog with Fast Normal for hips.
