| Any thoughts on which testing is better? OFA or Penn Hip? |

| Each does the hip tests differently and both registries are reputable. Many swear by one or the other. I'd say either is fine. |

| I have always used Penn Hip, but I am being pressured by my vet and my handler to have all of my weims recertified with OFA. Thank you for the information, Anne. |

| One reason you might want to redo the hips with OFA is because that is what most people here use and understand. It's just more popular... |

| Thank you for the website. It may appear that my thought pattern about the more scientific method was correct. So basically, I would recertify with OFA to pacify the show world. HMMMMM... |

| If I could ask a dumb question--how does one go about getting their dog tested? the fees sound very reasonable. |
