Hips must be done at a vet's office as it is an x-ray and needs to be done by a vet who is experienced in doing hips. The way the dog is placed on the x-ray may determine the outcome. The minimum age for OFA Hips is two years of age. There is no minimum for CERF so you can get that done any time but they do recommend retesting the eyes periodically. As the dog has to be one year to get a OFA Patellar number it's at that point you can get a CHIC number!! | Thank you for your input.
I have done my research and I know what I need to do but I do thank you for the info as someone who doesn't already know this will have the info.
