> I am curious to know what people on the list think > of Penn Hips.
I did PennHIP and OFA on 3 of my dogs. One of them is documented on the Premier Site at www.premiercavaliersite.net . I found no correlation in PennHIP score vs. OFA rating or even what the hips looked like to me and my vet after doing all 3 dogs. My thinking on PennHIP is twofold. 1. I think it is more meaningful for larger dogs than smaller dogs as to the likelihood that dog will develop hip dysplasia. 2. I think it may be useful as a guide over many years and many generations, but doesn't help as much as OFA from one generation to the next. And certainly it is nearly useless when so few Cavaliers have had PennHIP done.
