Does anyone know...

...what AVEPA or AMVAC stands for or is? The Breed Club in Spain only lists those organizations and BVA as the only entities recognized to score hips / elbows for breedings of club members litters and OFA is not recognized or accepted. It is my beleif that OFA is a reputable entity and certainly one of the most if not the most credible entity in the world as far as rating hips / elbows not mentioning the rest of excellent services that they provide for us. What am I missing here???? Why is OFA not accepted? I´ll probably get a reply from a club director asking me not to bang the club anymore, which is certainly not the intentions here whatsoever, could not be further from the truth. I really would like to know and if in fact they are reputable and credible organizations with credentials that I should rely on. Please pardon my ignorance all of you.

PS. My name is Orlando Fernandez just in case someone from Spain thinks that I hide behind the Author name; Breeder in Spain. All of my dogs are here in Spain, registered AKC and have all OFA clearances. Please feel free to send me private e-mails if you wish as I am scratching my head on this one.
