Cool! One thing people might not know, is you can get a CHIC number for a dog that has passed away. My Ch. Christy had earned all the requirements before there was such a thing as CHIC. I sent OFA copies of the certificate for her TC, they already had her records for the OFA hips, elbows, thyroid and cardiac and thus, several years after her death, Christy became Ch. Abraxas Repeat Performance HT TC CHIC. Kim - Kimberlite This year we are using the CHIC list in the Red Book to honor those who have taken the initiative to have their dogs certified in these health areas. Melissa Campbell is the new CHIC "keeper of the list" and "answerer of all questions" concerning CHIC.
