Hip/Elbow Scores…

[saba]

Just curious about the different scoring systems around the world…

Do you breeders, from all the different countries that we have on here, (:D), actually get individual scores for your dogs, especially the hips ??? Or is it just the grading ??? We get 3 here in Aus, the individual hip/elbow score, the Australian Grade, then the International Grade... What do you put most emphasis on ???

In the USA, we get for hips Excellent, Good, Fair and then degrees of being dysplastic. If you go to www.offa.org you can see all the different scores that a dog can get. For Elbows, it is Normal, Indeterminate and then the Grade of degenerative joint desease
