Dave, I don't think it would help a lot. I will bet that there would be many breeders who would "not provide" anything. The reason? Because they would think that if they provided 4 results and left one blank, everyone would assume the dog "flunked" that test. I have heard this from more than one long-time successful breeder as a reason they don't OFA, don't provide testing paperwork on pups, etc. Leanne
