The OFA website says that it is ok to breed OFA fairwhy do you say “only breed good to excellent”?
The answer to this is strictly our opinion. The OFA website does say that a dog rated OFA fair can be bred if it has a known family history of OFA good to excellent certification and is bred to another with a strong family of known good/excellent OFA certification, but we believe the risks are too great. Here is the description of OFA fair per the OFA website minor irregularities in the hip joint exist. The hip joint is wider than a good hip phenotype. This is due to the ball slightly slipping out of the socket causing a minor degree of joint incongruence. There may also be slight inward deviation of the weight-bearing surface of the socket (dorsal acetabular rim). This is not something that we believe should be bred.
