Hip Certification

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and the University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program (PennHIP) keep registries of hip certifications for dogs in the United States. In 2006, the OFA approved a separate breed code for the Epagneul Breton. PennHIP also has a separate database for the Epagneul Breton, but owners may need to request that PennHIP enter their dog's data with the correct code. See the Request Form.

The CEB-US provides the following hip certification information as a service to our members. Information listed is based on documentation provided by our members from the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals (OFA) or the University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program (PennHIP).
