What age is optimal to have your GSP Penn Hipped? What is the average score for a GSP? How do they compare to OFA's rating? Diane Krause

Hi Diane, Considered Penn hip for our bitch this spring. Our vet, who was Penn trained with the vet who developed the Penn Hip system, told us it is extremely comprehensive and thorough. There is much more manipulation of joints and xrays. (which also means more time and sedation)she felt with our dogs in particular, and shorthairs in general, probably not worth the extra cost. She felt some other breeds probably should do Penn Hip. I got the impression she was correct in her assessment as our Mimi's hips came back ofa excellent.

Penn Hip requires 3 films vs. OFA requiring 1. Doesn't require any additional sedation to shoot two more films.

Penn Hip is objective while OFA is subjective. Penn Hip uses replicable measurement methodology that eliminates subjectivity. The score is given based on the actual measurement of laxity for both hips. On Apr 4, 2012 4:44 PM, "Becky Feigh" <brfeigh@gmail.com> wrote: Penn Hip requires 3 films vs. OFA requiring 1.
