Ed it is stating that there is No Personal Identification number available on 
your dog.  Having some sort of personal identification on your dog just helps 
to contribute to the accuracy of the tests.

Nowadays, there is no logical reason for a dog not to be chipped or tattooed, 
IMO.   So, I always wonder why dogs have NOPI after their OFA numbers.  Gosh, 
the dog is at least 24 months old!  Makes you wonder if it really was the 
actual dog being submitted or not. Especially since most vets can microchip 
animals and could do at the time of the xrays. 

And, before everyone starts screaming all of the dogs, or at least their NOPI 
dogs are legit, it is my own personal opinion.   I think ALL submissions 
should be permanently identified PERIOD. 

ALL of our dogs, even pets, are chipped.  If I buy a puppy who isn't chipped, 
I chip it.  ALL of our puppies leave here chipped.

I agree too Kay. This "loophole" does need to be fixed. I never realized 
hat this could happen.  Maybe I just have encountered vets that made it a 
equirement for them since they are signing it. Each vet I have ever seen 
as required my dogs to have a microchip. Although if I was putting my 
ignature on something verifying a dog I would want all my bases covered 
oo.  Thank you Kay for finding this info and showing it to me I definitely 
id not know was not a requirement. Sad as that is!

I don't believe this to be true.  If you want the dog listed on the AKC 
edigree then you do have to have a permanent ID but otherwise there is no 
equirement to have it when x-raying hips and elbows.  So as far as doing a 
heek swab for a DM test on one dog that you know is clear and submitting 
nder another dog's name you can essentially do that with x-rays if so 
esired.  Here is what the OFA application says regarding PI on x-rays -- 
  
Only dogs with Verified Permanent Identification (VPI) will have their 
esults transmitted to the AKC for inclusion in their registration and 
edigree documents 
  
  
The permanent ID is not required by OFA to do x-rays. I always thought that 
his was a "loophole" that should be fixed.

Hips and elbow though you have to have a vet verify a microchip number and 
hey have to sign the form being submitted. DM tests are not verified by 
nyone but the individual doing them. No microchip or tattoo is required 
ither. Many of the dogs listed on OFA have single names with nothing else 
osted about them. No sire no Dam nothing.
