Today, in the mail, we received the official paperwork for Charlie's health screening of hips and elbows. He had digital x-rays taken at the veterinarian's office, and they were sent to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (http://www.offa.org/).
His hips were evaluated for hip dysplasia, and he showed no signs of this disease! He was rated at "Good" which is one of the top rankings that is given for hips.
Charlie also had his elbows evaluated by OFA, and they came back completely normal.
We are so proud, and knew already that Charlie comes from a long line of labs with excellent health, but now it's been confirmed!
