AKC Pedigree
A pedigree provides you with information you might not have otherwise known. An online view of information about every dog in the pedigree, to include name, registration number, colors and markings, competition titles and any related health information.
Hip Dysplasia Examination
Radiographs of animals 24 months of age or older are independently evaluated by three randomly selected, board-certified veterinary radiologists from a pool of 20 to 25 consulting radiologists throughout the USA in private practice and academia. Each radiologist evaluates the animal’s hip status considering the breed, sex, and age. There are approximately 9 different anatomic areas of the hip that are evaluated.
Testing for Hip Dysplasia
Canine Hip Dysplasia afflicts millions of dogs each year and can result in debilitating orthopedic disease of the hip. Many dogs will suffer from osteoarthritis, pain, and lameness, costing owners and breeders millions of dollars in veterinary care, shortened work longevity, and reduced performance.
Hip dysplasia is a disease of complex inheritance, meaning it is caused by many genes and its expression can be affected by multiple non-genetic factors.
oday, the general veterinary consensus is that hip dysplasia is a heritable disease manifested as hip joint laxity that leads to the development of Osteoarthritis.

Elbow Dysplasia Examination
Elbow dysplasia is a general term used to identify an inherited polygenic disease in the elbow. Three specific etiologies make up this disease and they can occur independently or in conjunction with one another. These etiologies include:
-
Pathology involving the medial coronoid of the ulna (FCP)
-
Osteochondritis of the medial humeral condyle in the elbow joint (OCD)
-
Ununited anconeal process (UAP)
Eye Certification
The purpose of the OFA Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) is to provide breeders with information regarding canine eye diseases so that they may make informed breeding decisions in an effort to produce healthier dogs. CAER certifications will be performed by board certified (ACVO) veterinary ophthalmologists. The Eye Certification exam consists of indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp biomicroscopy.
DNA Test Report
DNA testing for dogs falls into two, potentially related categories – breed identification and identifying potential disease-causing mutations. Identifying a dog’s breed make-up with a DNA test may point to an increased likelihood of particular conditions developing in the future.
