Ava Hip And Elbow Grading

Recommended Posts

Wanting to know if there is a chart to tell you what scores are graded A, B, C etc

For instance a friends dog scores just came back she got elbows 0:0 hips 2:2 this is graded Aus Grade 0 International Grade A

My boys came back a few weeks ago

elbows 0:0 hips 3:1 this is graded Aus Grade 1 Internatinal Grade B

so I'm thinking the cut off for grade A must be 2:2

Wondered if there was AVA Hip Score chart to reflect what the different readings equal

just got told that to get a grading of "A" no single hip can be over 2.

And no more than 1 on any particular point. So a dog that is 0:2 will not have an A grade if the 2 is on the same point, but a dog with 2:2 can be an A grade if the scores are distibuted on two different points on each hip. All very confusing and not very helpful. Most breeders I know take no notice of the grades and just worry about the scores.

OFA FCI (European) BVA (UK/Australia)

Excellent A-1 0-4 (no > 3/hip)

Good A-2 5-10 (no > 6/hip)

Fair B-1 11-18

Borderline B-2 19-25

Mild C 26-35

Moderate D 36-50

Severe E 51-106

The new system for FCI only has A B C D E, so you can combine A1 and A2, and combine B1 and B2.
