Can any one explain to me how the hip scores are done in america as i don't understand the results.
I have just been told that a dog coming over from america has a hip score H = b V = a.
Does that mean anything to anyone , please help

Peanuts

Have a look here

That is an excellent page as it gives the other Hip Scoring scheme equivalents at the bottom of the page.

Those letters don't seem to tally.

I have jointly own a male from the USA and the hip results are shown as EXC. Good or Fair (anything else shouldn't be being bred from).
