I think AOA is a great idea. I have thought so for
some years now. They have been thinking about this for
a while because I was seriously considering certifying
my 1st Champions elbows when she was at least 7 or 8,
just to get the AOA as she was OFA hips, had a TC and
a PT. And she has been dead for at least 3 years and
died at the age of 11 1/2. So get on with it already!
