Important Links
Canine Health Information Center (CHIC): Required health testing specifically for Czechoslovakian Vlcak which are also publicly listed and searchable. These are requirements for US-Club sanctioned breeding within the USA. The majority of breeders in the USA do not sufficiently health screen their breeding animals... be sure to check this public database to verify a breeder's dogs have been properly screened! When dogs have completed all required screening through OFA (see below), they are issued a CHIC number.
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA): Parent to afore-mentioned CHIC program, OFA is the main canine health database and genetic health screening portal in the USA, although results from anywhere can be evaluated and submitted through OFA. All US-based breeding should have health screenings openly listed with OFA! Tests specifically of importance to CsV that OFA provides include: hip and elbow evaluations, Degenerative Myelopathy screening, DNA-banking (for future health research, NOT DNA-profiling - separately required!), dentition count and eye screening.
AIS PennHIP: Information on PennHIP and where to get a PennHIP evaluation.
