dysplasia by one or both of these organizations or by a reliable and experienced local veterinarian.
However, if you plan to purchase a dog at high risk of elbow dysplasia from a breeder, I strongly suggest you insure your prospective pup's parents have been cleared for elbow
dysplasia by OFA, which is the Orthopedic Foundation of America.
