When a newf in Sweden has its official x-rays done, and is found to have exceptionally good hips compared to generally clear hips (A or B), we have a written declaration in the official x-rays telling the dog has excellent hips. So whenever we use the term excellent regarding any of our dogs it is because the dog has it written in the official papers by the official hipevaluater. It's not very common and we are proud to have owned and bred several newfies with the note "excellent" hips. |
