CHIC Numbers

Liza and Miley have both completed their health testing and received their CHIC numbers.  A CHIC number is a set of tests the CANINE HEALTH INFORMATION CENTRE in conjunction with the Dalmatian Club of America suggest that breeders use to evaluate the dogs they are going to breed.  For Dalmatians the requirements for a CHIC number is:


Hip Dysplasia

  • OFA Evaluation - OR
  • OVC Evaluation - OR
  • PennHIP Evaluation
Congenital Deafness
  • OFA evaluation based on BAER test OR
  • GDC evaluation based on BAER test
ELECTIVE
  • OFA evaluation from an approved laboratory OR
  • CERF Evaluation 

Liza and Miley both got their CHIC Numbers this last week.
