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 :)

BoxersnMinis · Congratulations!
