Are you basing this claim upon scientific evidence or upon anecdotal evidence.
If the former, I would appreciate you posting links to some of your sources.
If the latter, how large of a population did you study? Did you do a
horizontal analysis of pedigrees or strictly a vertical analysis?
I consider the OFA to be an excellent tool; the breeder may garner useful
information which should be employed when making current and future breeding
choices.

good genetics :)
and when we have no idea about what the genetic geenie is going to bring,
we feed top shelf kibble to do what we think will help in the GOD FORBID
event the dogs are genetically prone to some terrible GI issue
its same thing with hips and elbows, just because a dog has its A stamp or
OFA and passes doesn't mean shit for genetics.. cuz how many dogs are
produced from OFA excellent parents that end up with HD... and vice
versa...BUT
we MUST certify our dogs with the A stamp or OFA or on the very least xray
with good picture, before breeding to DO THE RIGHT THING... at least we
are trying to do the right thing by getting a our dogs proven with a title
or championship etc... on top of breeding known healthy bloodlines... and
feeding them the best and providing supplements to keep our dogs healthy :)
