This was one x ray (I do not yet have access to the rest) taken at about 18 months and was cleared as good by an orthopedic specialist.

I would like to find x rays taken on older working dogs that cleared OFA at a younger age. I have talked to several breeders and got the information that this is natural degeneration in any large breed working dog and the difference is once a dog is cleared they are usually not re-xrayed so most people are unaware of the natural degeneration of a dogs hips. I have been able to find no x rays taken of a dogs hips after the initial clear on hips. Apparently people just don't have a reason to do it unless there is an issue.
