One thing to add about OFA certification. Just because a dog has been OFA tested doesnt mean that the test results were good.

Case in point:
I was looking at the website of a breeder in the area who will has a litter in the summer. Sire's OFA# is listed and uon further investigation on the OFA database, there is no clearance number as the rating is "DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE I UNILATERAL RIGHT"

If I did not check the OFA database I would not have known any better....so I think it's wise to doublecheck that the sire and dam are, in fact registered and to verify their ratings as well as those of the dogs they have produced.
