Dr. Edward Molesworth in Reisterstown just outside of Baltimore. I've taken at least five Rottweilers to him and know many others who have also. Delores Neigh knows him very well. The number I have for him is 410-526-7500. He has one day a week that he exclusively does OFA .x-rays. A lot of breeders use him.
