CHIC Greyhounds
CHIC is defined as elegantly and stylishly fashionable
All Greyhounds are definitely chic...
but the greyhounds listed below have achieved their CHIC Certification because they've been screened for every disease recommended by the Greyhound Club of America and those results are publicly available in the database
Screening | Testing options |
---|---|

DNA Repository | Participation in the OFA/CHIC DNA Repository (Blood Sample Required) |

Notes
- In addition to the breed specific requirements above, a CHIC requirement across all participating breeds is that the dog must be permanently identified via microchip or tattoo in order to qualify for a CHIC number.
- CHIC numbers generate automatically within 1 to 2 weeks after all the required test results have been registered with the OFA.
- For dogs residing outside the US or Canada, owners may submit their country's equivalent health screening results for listing on the OFA website. These requests are reviewed on a case by case basis and fees apply. Once these results have been recorded with the OFA, owners may request CHIC numbers if they've met all the CHIC requirements through regular registrations or international equivalents. These requests are handled on a case by case basis.
Additional Notes
- Greyhounds earning CHIC certification will be recognized in the next GCA
newsletter with a photo, a three-generation pedigree, and information on breeders, owners, and contact information. - Owner or breeder must submit information listed above and photo
- This recognition will also be published on the GCA Facebook page as well as GCA's website
