OFFA

Orthopedic Foundation For Animals

 

All of our GSPs are health tested without exception.  In addition we conduct additional DNA testing to help with the future of the breed.  The OFA databases are core  to the organization’s objective of   establishing control programs to lower the  incidence of inherited  disease.  Responsible  breeders have an inherent responsibility to breed healthy dogs.  The OFA  databases serve all breeds of dogs and cats,   and provide breeders a means to  respond to the challenge of improving   the genetic health of their breed through  better breeding practices.    The testing  methodology and the criteria for evaluating the test   results for each database  were independently established by veterinary   scientists from their respective specialty areas, and the  standards   used are generally accepted throughout the world. The OFA databases are listed to the left of this page and are expanded as more tests become available.
