I pre-lim at one year of age and don't usually do this again as the 95% rate pretty good odds. Also, I look at all x-rays myself and don't rely totally on the opinion of the person rating the pre-lim. Basically, one set of hips may be better than the another even though rated the same. I like to know how the hips are as soon as possible. All the best, Susan Cochran
