The Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka Club of America recommends the following testing be completed on Bolonkas one year of age or older by a Qualified Veterinarian and/or Licensed Professional to obtain their CHIC number from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. The results of those examinations should be sent to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). Additional health testing of Bolonka adults may be recommended, pending the results of a comprehensive health survey currently being developed by the OFA.
