[QUOTE="Kurtr, post: 333917, member: 194"] ofa is a X-ray that they take to evaluate hips and elbows to help eliminate hip dysplasia if you breed your dog . They are rated normal , borderline it dysplastic. In those three they have subcategories. So you want normal with excellent ,good or fair. They also have another procedure called pennhip that is a measurement so it is less subjective. Three vets evaluate the ofa X-ray to give your rating. I don’t know that I will ever breed him but if I do I want to do it right. I will also get a genetic panel run to make sure he isn’t a carrier of anything. People wonder why good dogs breed by good breeders cost a lot there is a lot of cost that goes into having good healthy dogs. Our first lab had hip dysplasia and it was horrible I never want to experience that again or have some one else if I do breed him. It is something that can be fixed with responsible breeding.
