Hip scores of Labs

[Lewers]

My family and I are potentially getting a labrador puppy  and wanting to check if the following are good hip and elbow scores for the parents. Just wanting confirmation that everything is good or if we should look for another puppy.

 

Dame: hip 4:6

            elbow 0:0

 

Sire:  Hip 0:1

     Elbow: 0:0

 

Thanks

I have reported this post as it's in the wrong place. Hopefully you will get answers when it's in the right place. They look like good scores to me. Remember as well the environment and up bringing also play a potential part in poor scores.

Sire, excellent.  Dam, very good...no worries.  If you get 0:0 0:0 scores, good chance someone is breeding with undue emphasis on the few measured and not paying enough attention elsewhere.

Dogs with much worse scores than the dam live to a ripe old age with no arthritis of hips or elbows.
