Speaking of which, I just sent in Tuck's Cardiac OFA and his CERF to be
registered for his breeder.
Bad breeders won't spend $130 each for OFA hips + $15 to enter it in the
database. $30 for OFA Cardiac + $15 to enter it in the database
$130 for OFA thyroid + $15 to enter it in the database
$30 for OFA Patellas + $15 to enter it in the database, $75 for OFA Elbows
+ $15 to enter it in the database
$200 for OFA kidneys + $15 to enter it in the database and $32 for CERF
testing, + $12 to enter it in the database
It adds up. These were all tests requested of me by the breeder as progeny
follow up to insure she's breeding healthy dogs and catches any mistakes,
so it can be eliminated from the gene pool.
Yup. Marcie will get the whole deal when she's the right age, as did
Franklin (didn't CERF or kidneys). For my peace of mind and for the
breeder's information, as well as for the information of siblings.
Franklin was not bred, nor was it ever intended, and the same goes for
Marcie. But their littermates were/will be and that information is
important for all.
