Thank you to the Long Island Retriever Field Trial Club, their members, judges and volunteers for putting on a fantastic trial.

Quinn ran a great 4 series and picked up another win putting us on the National Derby List at 19 months old. Again.. I can’t thank Reid and everyone at Core Sound Retrievers enough for their hard work and dedication to her progression.

Did you know? Dogs must be 24 months or older for OFA Hip and Elbow certification, and 12 months or older for Cardiac, Patellas, and Thyroid certification. There is no age minimum for eye certification, nor for DNA, since DNA does not change as the dog ages.

The OFA also does Preliminary evaluations on hips and elbows before 24 months of age. However, they will need to be re-evaluated again for a final certification once the dog reaches 24 months.

Individual breeds may have different minimum age requirements for their CHIC program, which is determined by their parent club.
