I will only be presenting 4 of the 9 dogs that came up with a severe rating through the OFFA.
Aida of Tokai Soto JP --- Black and White Female Born June 17th 1995 --- Has a daughter whose hips were rated Good, her half sister was rated moderate. I am curious about the results of her daughter's father because with a rating of Severe (Hip Dysplasia), how could she produce a pup with a rating of Good. It is possible that this specific female was injured or something else had happened to modify the results of this test before it was done. The test was performed when she 6 years old.
Amin of Art Wan JP --- Black and White Male Born April 10th 1997 --- No relatives on record, but hips were tested as Normal. Test was performed when he was 4 years old.
BWBC O. Tammy's Brandy Time --- Black and White Female Born June 1st 2002 --- Her sire, Quicksilver Record Time, had hips that turned out with a rating of Excellent. Her dam, Tammy, had hips that finished with a result of Good. This dog's full blood brother, BWBC/O Blur recieved a rating of fair. This dog has many half siblings through her sire's side. Of the two half siblings I looked at, they received Excellent ratings and their mothers had ratings of Good, just like this dog. It seems unlikely this dog was born with severe hip dysplasia. (Test performed at 2 years of age.)
Comebye Whole Lotta Rosie --- Black and White Female Born March 21st 2007 (Test-May 12th, 2010) --- Sire-Fair Dam-Good Full Sister-Excellent. . .This is odd how two dogs from the same litter can have opposite ratings. One's hips are excellent, the other has Severe Hip Dysplasia. Her half siblings all registered as good, fair or excellent, but none with a severe rating like this dog.
