The DV is the Dobermann breed club. I think DV Hips are more accurate and honest then OFA. It seems like OFA ratings depend on what group of radiologists evaluates the film. I think Penn Hip is better than OFA also. I don't think there is that much of a difference between hips at one year or two. Good hips are good hips and bad hips are still bad. I haven't done a ZTP yet so it doesn't matter when I do my x rays. The ADA ZTP is way too EXPENSIVE and not really readily available and the UDC breed survey changes too much and has little recognition outside the UDC
