  • THE MAREMMA SHEEPDOG HAS JOINED THE CHIC PROGRAM! CHIC, the “Canine Health Information Center”, is a database of consolidated health screening results. Sponsored by the OFA, CHIC works with parent clubs to identify health screening protocols appropriate for individual breeds. Dogs tested in accordance with the parent club established requirements, that have their results registered and made available in the OFA Online Database are issued CHIC numbers. CHIC is meant to encourage health testing and sharing of all results, normal and abnormal, so that more informed breeding decisions can be made in an overall effort to reduce the incidence of genetic disease and improve canine health. Participation in CHIC is entirely voluntary. Now Maremma owners can submit their dog's PennHIP results to the OFA Online Database! Click here for more information: MSCA CHIC PROGRAM
