Today is a day that just keeps getting better. I had received Brandi's holter results from Dr Kate Meurs while I was at work. I was on cloud nine to see her "0" zero results. I came home to find an OFA envelope with her hip testing results.
OFA hip rating = EXCELLENT !!!!
I have never had a hip testing result as Excellent before. I am so thrilled I can't explain it. Brandi continues to light up my life and impress me daily. And being her breeder of course just makes the pride meter go through the roof. I also need to add that her sire, "Marcus", also has OFA Excellent hips. I guess the hips don't fall from the family tree................

YAY !! Published and official. For those that don't know, many health tests can be registered with OFA. Obviously OFA has to rate hips, but other tests like heart can be publicly registered as well. This makes a wonderful public database to both research dogs and the breed as a whole.
www.offa.org and all you need to know if part of the dog's name.

I crunched the numbers for Boxers that are listed on the OFA database with passing scores. This includes all Fair, Good and Excellent ratings as of 2/22/08.
Only 143 Boxers rated Excellent per OFA to date Boxers hip rated GOOD = 2493 Boxers hip rated FAIR = 1292 Total database of passing Boxers is 3,928 which means only 3% recieved Excellent ratings
PennHip is another type of a hip test that grades dogs on the percentile they are within their given breed. For OFA, this puts Brandi in the top 3% hip rated/passed Boxers :)
