Do my dog's hip x-rays look bad? Should I get a second opinion?

Question

I wanted to know if his hips look bad? I was told not to worry about them but i have a gut feeling his hips don’t look good. Should i have them redone and get a second opinion? Or can you tell from these rads that the hips aren’t to great? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 2 months old | 20.08 lbs

From what I can see his hips look pretty good, there is good coverage of the femoral head by the hip socket, the femoral heads seem to be pretty smooth and rounded, but if you want a second opinion, you can ask your vet for copies of the x-rays or ask them to send them to a veterinary radiologist for an expert eye.
