A lot of questions coming in about how to acquire your dogs CHIC number. Please see the requirements in the screenshot below.
Note that hips is "ONE of the following". You can have OFA hip scored or submit PenHIP results to the OFA. You do not need to do both. This is not the OFA grading distracted views that you sent to PennHIP, this is you forwarding your PenHIP results to the OFA to be added to their database. The dog must have an existing OFA record of some type. To submit, the owner should email or mail a copy of the PennHIP report to the OFA at: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), or 2300 E Nifong Blvd Columbia, MO 65201. The fee to record these results is $25, and payment must accompany the request. The OFA will record the left and right DI’s only, not the percentile. There is also more information about internationally scored hips being submitted to the OFA in the following link....
https://ofa.org/about/ofa-policies/ #
Elbows are graded thru the OFA.
Cardiac is an echocardiogram performed by a cardiologist and results are submitted to the OFA.

Remember that all radiographs for OFA must be submitted directly by the attending veterinarian. You can not at any time email the OFA your saved radiographs to be evaluated. Your vet needs to do this for you.
Note that abnormal results must be signed off to be released in the OFA database for you to receive a CHIC number. If you did not sign the release, you will not be awarded a CHIC number.

See example of PennHIP results in the OFA database in the second image.

What a monumental day for the American Bully breed, as well as all of its dedicated and passionate fanciers that helped work toward making this goal become a reality!

🐾 HUGE NEWS for American Bullies! 🐾

The United American Bully Association is thrilled to announce that American Bullies now qualify for CHIC numbers with the OFA! 🎉

To earn a CHIC number, dogs must have completed:
✅ Hips
✅ Elbows
✅ Advanced Cardiac (including echocardiogram)

We already have 53 American Bullies with CHIC numbers—check the database to see if your dog has their fancy new badge! 🏅

Celebrating my 6th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

01/02/2025

Starting this year in 2025 I would like to be more involved with my local community and especially with local rescues that get American Bullies or Dachshund in. At least once a month I will be featuring a local rescue that is actively looking for a home or foster out here in Vermont/New Hampshire.

This month I chose Denali! 🐾
Denali is a HANDSOME 3 year old, 95 pound potential American Bully/mix. He is very sweet and is working on basic obedience and his leash manners. Denali is seeking a home free of cats, but would do well with a low key, or mild mannered dog and respectful children.

Applications for Denali can be submitted here: https://airtable.com/appowPvyyGwcXQxBN/shr1OAOWYfymceEDR

Please reach out to Friends For Life Dog Rescue for more information on Denali or if you would like to Donate funds or supplies to help them continue to rescue other dogs like Denali! ❤️‍🩹🐾

**DISCLAIMER: I am not personally affiliated with Friends for Life Dog Rescue. I just choose to feature deserving dogs and ethical rescues in the fight to bring ethical rescues and breeders in the community together.**
