Our parent dogs are either tested or are cleared “via parentage” (both their parents were already DNA cleared) for von Willebrand’s disease, three mutations of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd, GRPRA1, GRPRA2), Degenerative Myelopathy, Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures, Ichthyosis, CDDY & CDPA. Under each dog’s photo, you will find a link to the pedigrees and health testing (OFA heart, eyes, hips, elbows, and patellas) for each parent dog. Any disease testing results you do not see is because they are clear via parentage for those DNA diseases.
A Bit More on OFA Testing
Hips and Elbows
Due to OFA’s study on the reliability of preliminary testing, we were conducting the Prelim OFA hip and elbow screening between the ages of 4-12 months of age. See below:
“A previous OFA veterinary journal publication* compared the reliability of the preliminary evaluation hip grade phenotype with the 2 year old evaluation in dogs and there was 100% reliability for a preliminary grade of excellent being normal at 2 years of age (excellent, good, or fair). There was 97.9% reliability for a preliminary grade of good being normal at 2 years of age, and 76.9% reliability for a preliminary grade of fair being normal at 2 years of age. Reliability of preliminary evaluations increased as age at the time of preliminary evaluation increased, regardless of whether dogs received a preliminary evaluation of normal hip conformation or HD. For normal hip conformations, the reliability was 89.6% at 3-6 months, 93.8% at 7-12 months, and 95.2% at 13-18 months. These results suggest that preliminary evaluations of hip joint status in dogs are generally reliable. However, dogs that receive a preliminary evaluation of fair or mild hip joint conformation should be reevaluated at an older age (24 months).” https://www.ofa.org/about/policies/preliminary-evaluations
There is another alternative to screening for Hip Dysplasia in our dogs prior to breeding. PennHip evaluation is based on several measurements from an x-ray of the hip joint and socket. The PennHip model has a strong correlation between these measurements (“laxity”) and joint health. PennHip is accurate in puppies as early as 16 weeks of age.
Fox Creek Farm has decided to move towards either PennHip at 16 weeks of age OR OFA hip and elbow prelims at 12 months of age and repeated at 24 months of age. Please be patient while we update our dog’s testing and get it uploaded to our website.
OFA Eyes (CAER) exams are done every 2 years.
OFA Heart and Patella exams are done at 12 months of age.
