I'm thrilled and excited - we got back Bingley's hip results and his score is . . .

excellent!!!!!!!

I'm sooooooo proud of my boy (isn't that funny)!! Here they are:

I'm no expert but they look nice & snug to me! Well done Bingley!
Those are some "excellent" looking hips!!! Very Happy

It's always a great feeling once those hips come back clear, and an even better feeling when they come back with the highest score.

I have always only had the hips cleared through our Canadian registry, OVC. I was told the hips must be the equivelant of an OFA "Good" to pass. Since I like the fact that OFA gives an actual grading, I had my last bitch certified through OFA, and her hips came back Excellent as well. I have decided to certify with OFA from now on, because I really also like the fact that hip scores are published online.
Congrats!!! What great news about Bingley!
Nice leg muscle development too old boy. Found the bobbed tail a bit disconcerting...........never looked at it from the inside.
those are some fine looking hips!!!!
Congrats!
Wow Emily that is great! Go Dance high five! Go Dance

Good hips go beyond showing and breeding it is the health of your dog and its quality of life. I know first hand since I had a dog with severe hip dysplasia. Even though Harry is fixed I had him tested anyway and his hips were rated as good.
Thanks everyone - it's crazy but I am sooo thrilled about this - the quality of life thing is what really makes me happy. I guess the 6 months we carried him up and down the stairs were worth it . . . Rolling Eyes Laughing
Beautiful!
He ought to do good in agility.
I'm sure Grandma is just as proud of Bing as you area. She breeds quality pups!!!
Congratulations guys!!! Welcome to the excellent hips club!!!
Yay!!! YAY Always great to get the results and all is "Excellant"!!! I'm outta here! Your real "HIP" now Bingley and can do the Hipey Hipey Shake Wink Laughing

Great looking hips Bingley Kiss
congrats thats excellent news.
Great news Emily! Congrats to Edy too for producing such a healthy boy! Very Happy
Nice hips!! Cheering!

Bet he is wiggling right now!

Congratulations!
That's awesome. They really don't look like they could be any better. He should be a Super Terrific Excellent!
That is not the "bobbed tail" you are seeing, uhhh , rather his boy thing

Don't forget the adrenaline when you are waiting to see the x-ray, before it is submitted.

stairs will not effect his hip structure - but can aggravate poorly structured hips. my girl is OFA excellant and ran up and down the stairs from day one - often more than once at a time - she thought it a great game. my boy was carried for weeks. he has bad hips.
Congrats, Emily & Edy! It's great news for Bingley!! Very Happy
Kerry you are correct, if a dog does not have the gene for hd it can do whatever without affecting hips, but you don't know until you x-ray, therefore I advise my puppy people not to let the puppy run up stairs all day long etc.
With doing this you might be able to prevent worse , i.e fair to good, borderline to fair.

What fantastic news! Congratulations! Having just lost our girl with severe hip dyplasia, I can tell you it is NO fun to live through, either for us or the dog.

And think of the 6 months of carrying him up/down the stairs as practice for carrying the baby!! Laughing Laughing
cingratulations Bingley Very Happy

When Tim did Suzi's he came out of the back with this super serious look on his face. I thought the worst! Then he said, "Well isn't anybody going to ask what they are? Because they look perfect and I thought you'd be excited!" Geesh! Talk about making a situation more tense!
LOL I was thrilled to hear your voice when you thought they were great, Edy - it made my day! And then getting the report was just confirmation!! You did a fantastic job breeding!!!!!!!
