What health Tests/Screens can be done on a German Shepherd and at what ages can they be done?

There is OFA for hips and elbows, heart, and thyroid. 24 months is the minimum age for the hips and elbows, so I do the others then too. There are other tests such as CERF for eyes, but I don't know the minimum age for that one.
