AKC DNA number and finding heath tests?

Breeders in America use the OFA ( Orthipedic foundation for Animals), OFFA.org , for recording Health Tests like : Hips, elbows ,heart, eyes, and other genetic tests.

Also we use PennHip , but less likely.

AKC only uses the DNA tests for recording the Sire/Dam profile to prove that a puppy is from those parents.

You can only get a ILP number through AKC with proof of spay and photographs. DNA will only help if it is AKC registered already and it is done for breeding purposes or if it is for parantage issues through AKC. You have 6 months from the date of whelp to register a litter with AKC- after that it is no longer eligible to be registered. However usually you register them before 4 weeks of age to make sure all the paperwork is in order before they go home. Litters can also be registered online. But no don't waist your money it will not help. ACA- american canine association CKC- continental Kennel Club EDIT: limited registration is a restriction that the breeder places on the puppy with holding breeding rights. The dog does not always have to be spayed/neutered. For example I can place a dog under limited registration with the requirement that the dog complete a master hunter title. Upon title completion I, as the breeder, can lift the limited registration and grant them full. This way only titled offspring with health clearances are allowed to breed.

If you have an actual copy of the pedigree with the DNA# on it then if these dogs were indeed tested their OFA #, Chic#, CERF # should be on the pedigree...you don't contact breed clubs..breed clubs have nothing to do with health test results.

If the dog was tested with OFA then go to the site http:// www.offa.org type in the dog's registered name and/or reg. # and it will bring up results if the dog was indeed tested.

If they are OFA certifictions you can go to www.offa.org and look them up by registration number.

doubt if they are listed if not on web site

probably byb so they don't health test
