OFA a spayed dog?
Is it worth OFA a dog even though he is spayed?.
How many of you, have done it? My male is OFA x-ray for both,hips and elbows because he is a show dog. I didn't do my female cos she is spayed and wondered if I should or is it a waste of money? |

You can do it for your own sake.Some breeder have their puppis they place as pet OFA so they know what they are producing all the way around.

I will be asking my adopters to OFA hips and elbows of the pups so that I can add it to my records about what is in the lines and what I am producing. I plan to give a rebate of some money if they do do it for me.

I would recomend it if you have the money - from a breeders perpective the move information out there about your dogs get the better.
Especially if it is a positive reading. |

You could also just have regular pelvic radiographs done that don't need to certified by OFA or graded by OFA. That would lower the cost quite a bit. Especially if its just for your own knowledge, there doesn't seem much of a point to do it if you aren't going to breed etc. But to have a vet look at it and let you know how her hips look isn't a bad idea.

I probably will just for my own peace of mind and as information for my breeder. I'm sure it would be valuable info for her to have.
