When your GS is x-rayed hips and sent to OFA they will tell you whether or not your dog has a Transitional verterbrae and they recommend not to breed two together who both have the abnormality... Well, I must say that to this point I have not had one of these on ANY OFA I have received. Now that I have said this out loud, it will most likely be on my next one....LOL Would be a good thing to know tho!
