It used to be OFA was just pass or fail - there were no grades of Fair, Good and Excellent. Far too many place emphasis on breeding "the rating." They believe Good is good therefore Excellent is even better and Fair isn't even close to the other two - it's somehow not sufficient.
As has been stated, much more must go into a breeding then what one sees on the surface. Fair is free of disease. Fair *is* breedable.
