English Springer Spaniel: elbow evaluations rated abnormal (grade 1-3 combined), OFA cumulative statistics
as of 2026-09-07 · license: facts-only
- OFA is a voluntary-submission registry: owners/breeders choose whether to have a dog evaluated and whether to submit the result, so this is not a random sample of the breed and most likely understates true population prevalence.
