Sorry but I think that is wrong." Denise ( rikers123 ) said " No, Denise said " Afraid of what ? I don't know of anyone afraid to x-ray. The majority of people I know do x-ray before putting big bucks into showing the dogs. That's only common sense. Should I not show my dogs because they are not yet of age to be OFA'd ? Sorry, but I think that is wrong.
