Didn't know how to title the thread! Anyhow, a friend has a German Shepherd she bought to show. The dog was just prelimed by OFA and he came back with mild dysplasia in his elbows. She's heart broken. She can either get a refund and keep the dog, or give it back and get a new pup in the next litter. She's keeping her best friend. She will have him OFA'd again when he's 24 months (he's 5 months right now).
My question is, can dogs that do have mild hip or elbow dysplasia still compete in obedience comfortably? He will be neutered, if is not beter by 24 months. She just loves being in the competition ring, whatever it may be, so I thought maybe I could cheer her up! I figured this might be a good place to check...
