Health Information Database
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) – This database offers an outstanding resource for breeders and puppy buyers who are researching the health test results of Swissies. This is the most accurate and up-to-date source of official health test results including hips, elbows, shoulders, patellas, cardiac, and thyroid along with CERF test results and CHIC numbers for all breeds and includes numerous articles discussing orthopedic diseases that affect dogs. The “Search OFA Records” feature of the database allows both general and detailed searches by breed, dog’s full or partial name, gender, registration number, time period, specific test(s), and test results. Individual dog records automatically link to sire, dam, full sibling and 1/2 sibling test results and also link to a pedigree. Owners of dogs have the option to submit non-OFA test results, including but not limited to PennHip tests.
