Hi Mary, There are no stupid questions! Your regular vet takes the x-ray and sends into OFA for evaluation. OFA requires that your dog be at least 2 years of age when the xray is taken for a final determination but you can have a preliminary evaluation done at a younger age, if you wish. Here is a link to OFA's web site: www.offa.org
