Since a break from breeding for the last 3 years (Got married, moved) - I'm about to start working towards breeding my ideal Beagle again. My last post was here: http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/143846/page/5#Post143846

Since beginning to test my Beagles for Hip Dysplasia in 2004, I feel like I finally made progress as all of my bred-by puppies born in 2006-2008 tested were OFA Preliminary Normal (1 Fair, 4 Good) (although not every puppy was tested as their owners did not follow through - which is another topic).

The '07 litters were by the same sire, different mothers. A male from the first litter was OFA preliminary "Good" at 4 mths & 12 mths (He is the one in my first post). The bitch from the second litter "Lily" was OFA preliminary "Good" at 4mths & 12 mths old.

I recently re-acquired this bitch "Lily" and had her x-rayed along with 2 more of my Beagles. Here is a link to Lily's recent x-ray: http://i54.tinypic.com/2s7e540.jpg

Here is an x-ray of the new male "Mister" that I had x-rayed (from another kennel): http://i52.tinypic.com/28vrvyq.jpg

Here is an x-ray from the new female "Busy" that I had x-rayed (from another kennel): http://i53.tinypic.com/dcauiv.jpg

We have about another week to wait until we get the OFA results, however I would like to hear everyone's guesses as to what they might get scored?

Busy's hips look nice. I wouldn't have sent in that film of Mister, I would have made them reshoot it.

Mister - OFA Excellent
Busy - OFA Good
Lily - OFA Fair

Thanks for posting. I'm surprised they gave you results on "mister" without the knees fully visible.

The x-ray looked alot better in person, it scanned really dark for some reason on my printer.
