OFA
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, a US nonprofit that certifies dogs for genetic health conditions including hip and elbow dysplasia.
In more detail
OFA certification is a standard premium buyers expect. Hips, elbows, heart, eyes, and thyroid are common OFA tests for breeding dogs. Breeders who display OFA numbers on their dog profiles (with schema markup) signal professionalism and let buyers verify directly on the OFA database.
