Hi Pam,
You are a breath of fresh air. At times it gets smack of old breath and stale
air here.
I agree with you 100%.
Dogs and bitches that show ( that are looked at to be potential studs and
brood bitches ) should most definitely be OFA'd.....not just prelimbed.
I have to wonder why the humming and hawing and "no it shouldn't be
mandatory" ....why not??
Of course the big 'ole argument comes up about "well the tests just aren't
100%". Bugger that. They are the best we have so bloody well do it. It DOES
weed out.
In my world...elbows would be done as well. ( more excuses )
John Dehope said that "the quality of your litter should not only be
evaluated by the best in the litter..but by the least."
Ahhhh, words to strive towards! Gawd, that is just perfect isn't it?!!
Pam said "I know of
breeders that won't OFA because they are afraid to X-ray but will take them in
the
ring and try for a championship. Sorry but I think that is wrong."

Well M,
I choose to have a total dog also. As long as the Stud OFA's that is okay!
I asked the list to think positive about this subject but some just want to
battle.
To each his own. All aspects of the Shepherd are important, I just have a
certain bug about OFA. It's a good Idea to OFA all Stud dogs that Show period.

GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED
BETTERMENT REGISTRY
The only way to understand & estimate the nature of the dog is to study his
whole development. Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who
tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who
will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von
