I have always done a preliminary xray at about 6 months, and followed
through at a year and then OFA at 2 years. This is expensive,
particularly if you send 'em to OFA each time, but as I am (or was) a
small breeder, I could manage.
HOWEVER, if a breeder chooses not to xray his/her stock, then a BUYER
has the option not to buy there
.
Many years ago there was an unxrayed ROM sire that had a zillion
champions and progeny, and slowly but surely there was an increase in
hip and elbow problems, as he was used a LOT. Now his name is rarely
seen in pedigrees. Breeders saw what was happening and went elsewhere.
I am one of those who learned the hard way. Doris E
