BRAG
Although a small brag, and rather expected, it's a very important brag never-
the-less. Tuck just got his OFA results back for Hips [OFA-Good], Elbows [OFA-Normal, Kidneys [OFA-Normal], and Patellas [OFA-Normal] |

I remember having Franklin's hips done and when they came back as Excellent, it was a party! I need to do Rudy but have not, although I want to ILP him first. I've heard the AKC is changing the ILP program and renaming it though, somewhere around this Spring, so I don't know what I should do (if I finally get around to sending the stuff in!). -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

The only one of my dogs I've had done is Crow (OFA good, and CERF clear), and that was because I'd been thinking she might be a breeding prospect. I think it's generally useful information, but I am kind of curious about having it done on a dog who's not a breeding prospect and whose parentage is unknown. I'm not critical at all (the opposite, in fact: I'm positive about it), but curious. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

@panix3.panix.com: I think it's generally useful information, but I am kind of curious about having it done on a dog who's not a breeding prospect and whose parentage is unknown. I'm not critical at all (the opposite, in fact: I'm positive about it), but curious. I had Queenie's hips x-rayed just to see if we would possibly have problems down the line. I was under the impression that big dogs have dysplasia more than small dogs and that big dogs might have a harder time of it, if their hips got really bad. Just wanted to know what might be coming down the road. The vet said that keeping her at a good weight was important, and to make sure she got enough exercise, because the more muscular she is, the better off she'll be (she has dysplasia, but is asymptomatic). -- Catherine & Zoe, Queenie, and Max, 3 black dogs of varying size & Rosalie the calico cat www.ourladyofperfection.blogspot.com |

His sister got an OFA EXCELLENT!! WooooHoooo! And she pass her entire battery of OFA and Cerf as well. Tuck hasn't been Cerf'ed since he was 4 months old. I'm waiting til the nationals to Cerf him, because it's $20 cheaper if I wait a few months, and I'm going to be there anyway. |

Muttley's vet appointment turned out OK, but he would not hold still to allow his nails to be clipped, and it took two assistants to hold him while the vet drew blood and gave him his boosters. But he never snarled, growled, snapped, or acted aggressively. He just used his immense strength to muscle his way out of their grasp, and he tried to hide under the chair where I was sitting. I hope I can make some progress with him in a couple months when I can start obedience training again, but I think it's just a case of a very willfull and independent dog in the hands of someone (me) who does not like to assert dominance and control, and I don't think that will change. Three cheers and a woof for Tuck and his good influence on the kids at school (and hopefully their parents as well)! Paul and Sir Muttley |
