I just did Will's Penn Hips , OFA hips , and elbows at the University OF PA. They take 3 views of the elbows , not just the one OFA wants and grade them based on all three elbow views. He graded NORMAL Yahoo!!!
The best news is for all 9 films,( 3 views of hips and 3 views of each elbow) anesthesia , time with the research fellow, Dr Karbe, the cost was only $430 . I would recommend anybody within driving distance go there and do all of the above. It is well worth the money and you get WAY more info for your dollar . The appt was at 1PM I had him back at 3PM and discussing the films. EXTREMELY HAPPY with the service and cost, can you tell???

I've done both PennHIP and OFA on my guy.. that keeps all bases covered!!

I paid $800 plus for the PennHIP films and then another $800 plus for OFA at my vet ... oh, and did I mention the charge for the OFA prelims????

It's worth the 6 hour drive!!

The vet at Penn and I discussed breeders not getting on board with PennHip and I told her that it was cost prohibitive in many areas, that if they could regulate the price somehow, it might be more appealing. I PennHip and OFA, My judgement is made on the Pennhip, the OFA is for the rest of the world.....
