has anyone had their hip scores back before 3weeks ? we did afew months ago ,we took our boy 3weeks ago and havnt heard anything yet, was just wondering if any eles has? thanks x

also could i ring them to ask ? im sure theyve been scored by now!

I have usually had to wait a month or two for results. 

Inka's were back quickly (x-rayed end of January) and actually scored 10 days after the x-rays taken.

Her half sister in 2008 was scored 43 days after the x-ray was taken, and their Mum in 2005 took 46 days from x-ray to scoring.

You need to add on time after that for the vet to get them back and contact you/send them on.

thanks brainless ,i hate waiting when i know they sitting every week now :( x

Try looking on the KC website for health tests and mine were published on there before I had been notified and I came across them by accident!

already done that today lol ,not there yet :( ,but thankyou sawheaties x

Mine took 1 day short of three weeks.(this was when the vet forwarded me the results so she had them back the week before)They were published on the K.C health check site at the end of the month - so this took about 5 weeks.My girl was x rayed at the end of February and I received them the Monday after Crufts.

I know someone who has one of my boys sons has just had his hipscore back with an excellent result too yesterday.  There's I think Sandra Webber who is at the BVA who is really helpful and so nice.  If you go on their website and send them an e-mail they will always reply.

thanks for that i think i might email now :) x

ive sent an email so now i just wait , with today everyone uses a computer ud think thay could email scores to you once there done!

got email back im havent been scord yet but was told to email next week and they can give me a date when there going to be done..alot of been submitted this time.

hi perrodeagua ,weve had problems with the xrays ,well not them but the paper work that goes with it :( wasnt filled out right!!! but i must say sandre has been fantasic emailing me to let me know whats been happening ,so finnaly today thayve been scored and will be posted to our vets in the moring, does anyone know how long i should wait to ring vets for score ? would you say wed be to soon lol ,it feels like ive been waiting a life time for these lol, but knowing thayve been done today and i dont know the score is killing me :( lol

Have you looked on the KC site? They're often quicker on there than any other way.

M.

yes :) ,but thanku for puting link up for me x
his hips were only scored today and will be posted tomorrow to our vets ,its killing me not knowing  :( xx

Mine were done on 26th March scored on 16th April , and sent to vets Monday I got result today

I posted in March asking if anyone knew when the panel was meeting ... you replied saying you'd had yours back in 3 weeks & Kayc said the panel were meeting weekly at that time.  Mine were 18 days from x-ray being taken to being back at the vets!!  I was impressed!  They may have gone back to their normal meeting schedule now.

Hope you don't have too much longer.

hi trialist ,sandra from the BVA told me thay have been scoreing hips every week for the last few years now :) but are sitting twice aweek because mine have been done today ,so im now hopeing there back at the vets for monday :)

Ah ha, you snuck in whilst I was doing a quick edit!!  I got me dates wrong ... was quite determined to put up the exact days cos I was so chuffed with the short wait!!

I'll pass this info to my vet.  When I told them I'd been told the panel were meeting weekly, they said "oh no they don't they meet ....."  Fingers crossed, you'll hopefully get your results back before the weekend.

my boys hips were done on the 17th march :( and only just scored today ,if it wasnt for the vets ,id have them now :(

Oh poo, ours were x-rayed the day after ... sorry :-(

story of my life lol ;) x

Calida's hipscores were on teh KC website the day after they were scored when she had them done last year, whether that was Sandra helping me and getting it put on quickly I don't know but was shocked how fast they were on there LOL

thats very quick :) ...i really need to know for next week i have some one wanting to use him at stud ,she asked 6months ago and gone though his pedigree the lot!! shes now been in season for 3day , put she has got 1 more lined up if hip score dont come back or isnt good :(

Positive mantra ... you will have results for weekend ... you will have results for weekend ... BVA and Royal Mail willing :-)  It is a bit bonkers in this day and age that you can't get results via e-mail, as in DNA tests.

i know! ive wondered why results carnt be emailed? ,would make the waiting game such less time ,but you are right :) im sure i will get very good scores and by the weekend too ;)

White lilly - if the plates have already been scored, you can get your vets to phone up the BVA and they can find out the scores for you. Only the vets can do this - not us mere owners!

even if i emailed them to ask wouldnt they tell me ? , but i will ring the vets tomorrow and ask them to ring them thankyou i didnt know that :) so i will know before the weekend :) x

yay!!!! yay!!!! yay!!!!!

vet rang this morning and have come back 0-0 oyes oyes oyes ......feels like weve won the lotto lol

Congrats!  :)

I'm sooo jealous, that's two people on here that I've noticed and I can't believe that the SWD person hasn't bragged about it LOL, I would!"!!!

lol i want to shout it from the rooftops :) x

Congrats!!! 

I wonder how many 0:0 scores there are now?  And how many dogs with both parents 0:0, I only know of one Labrador. 

I don't know where you live but I can hear you from here!!!  Well don:-D

For my own interest, can I ask what breed?

LOL :) thankyou x

Wow, there have only ever been two of those in my breed.  That is something to celebrate.

thankyou brainless ,me and hubby will be later ,ive just got a bottle of vodka for us and a big home made liver cake for our boy:) but weve told him he has to let the other have a little bit too LOL x

What breed is it?  THere's only been one in my breed with that score so far.

gsd ...and ive been told even tho we have so many here ,theres not that many with hipscores of 0-0 so you can see why im over the moon :) x

WOW, that is a FANTASTIC score for a gsd. few and far between.

thankyou qwerty :)

Congratulations on a wonderful result. Any chance of pm'ing me his breeding.

I have just been told that if your x-rays are taken digitally, the BVA have to send them off to be converted which takes a couple of weeks!!  So much for technology - you'd think it would speed things up wouldn't you?

i agree ,but sometimes technology makes thing longer :(

The BVA does not accept digital images so Vets must have them converted to dry laser images or printed before submission for scoring. The discs have to be sent off for processing, sent back to the Vet who then sends them to the BVA. Guess who pays for all this? And of course it all takes more time.
