I agree testing hips can be used as a tool in evaluating a complete picture of a mating. But, since OFA is such a subjective issue, I dont' agree with eliminating a dog from a breeding program for mild or borderline diagnosis. I don't have complete faith in the evaluation process.....and since I don't see many cases of problematic HD, I put my money where I feel it does the most good. Again.......it comes down to what each individual feels is most important to them. pam ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry & Pat Barrington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 5:16 AM Subject: Re: [CKCS-L] Kelly, HD
