                                             At the time of submission, the owner must choose if abnormal results are to be released.  If no choice is made,
          PRELIMINARY HIP AND/OR             only normal results will be disclosed for individuals.
          ELBOW EVALUATION: Under 24 Months  This change will not affect information currently in the database.  If an owner would like to disclose abnormal
                                             results on an animal evaluated before this policy went into effect, they may do so by completing and submit-
