We tested our dog in March 2015 and she came back DM Carrier (A/N). We received a certificate in the mail from OFA stating as such. I have been waiting for 4 weeks for OFA to post it on their database. I finally received word that OFA would not post it without my permission because it was not a "normal" result. I have to fill out a form giving them permission to put it in the database; on the form it states in bold font "If your animal received an OFA certificate, there is no need to change the status." I am so confused because I thought that DM Carrier is still a "normal" result, just that she is a carrier of a recessive gene...
Obvviously, I have to fill out the form. Can anyone help me become un-confused? Is this just OFA being "retarded" or did I actually not check something I should have on the original order form?
Thank you!

OFA just replied. According to the the only normal is DM Clear (N/N) and the remainder are all clumped together as abnormal.

On the original form you should have checked the box that says that OFA can post your results if they are not normal. ( a normal is N/N)... OFA considers A/N and A/A as not normal.
You just need to type up a letter saying that OFA can post your results for you dog.
