Hi all.
I'm looking to get a new samoyed puppy for the family and I've been contacting a few breeders recently.
Of course i want a happy and healthy puppy, but I'm a little confused over what the hip scores mean. I know that zero is perfect but how high is acceptable?
For example, for the litter I am considering, the dam has hip scores of R4 L1. The sire simply has "good" hips.
Is this score good or bad? I know nothing is guaranteed, but what scores are considered good and what bad?
Thanks.
