Some of Draco's health testing results are in! He had fantastic Pennhip scores, well outside of breed average (tight hips and very unlikely to develop hip dysplasia) and super prelim OFA scores. My first "excellent" for hips, which is exciting! I am trying something different with Draco & Vesper and having their hips, elbows, and spines evaluated through the German Shepherd Schutzhund Club of Canada's C-Stamp program. It is essentially the same as the German A-Stamp program, with the xrays being sent to Germany to be evaluated by the same veterinarians there, but turn around times are a lot faster. I'm excited to get the results, as they are strict and demanding- which is a good thing! But because some of the xrays are the same views required by OFA, I submitted to them as well.
