Can a lab that has not been registered yet(papers just not sent in yet) be x-rayed(sent in) for ofa certification?
Does he already have to be registered at the time of the x-ray.

Yes you can and no he does not.

Read about ofa on http://offa.org

However, there is a time limit to registration. The litter must be registered within 6 months of whelping and the individual dogs must be registered within 12 months of the litter being registered.

Exceptions to the time limits can be made provided that the proper documents are filed and the penalties paid.

That's not true. Even on the puppy applications there is the "after two years" with just additional money.

I've registered 5 year old dogs.

I'd have to look up the litter registration part. I normally get them registered right away but AKC makes exceptions for everything. They make money through dog registrations so unless there is a very severe reason to NOT allow a registration they will register a litter or dog.

They changed all that awhile ago. Now they just charge more. They even had a special to get those old litters registered.

That's not according to the "Rules Applying to Registration and Discipline" with all the current amendments.

Chapter 3, Section 4, paragraph 2 applies to litters and levies the 6 month post whelping requirement. Chap 3, Section 4, paragraph 3 applies to individual dogs.

There is a provision for a late litter or individual registration....with appropriate penalty fees....as I said.
