aussielover Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The advantage of PennHip is that you can do it from 4 months. If using AVA the dog has to be over 12 months I think? Also, to do PennHip, you need the radiographs taken by a certified vet, which reduces the chances of getting poor quality or poorly positioned films (which can affect the score). If your vet is expereiced in doing radiographs for hip scoring then I think either would be fine. Although I have heard some of the people that read for the AVA scheme are not that good and that you should ask for specific vets to read them.
