What do these numbers mean? (Pedigrees)

Just curious if all this means anything - I'm sure it does, but I have no idea what. :)

I'm just going to grab a name off Jasper's pedigree and use it as an example...hope that's okay.

CH HEATHERMIST AMOS BARCLAY
DL42249710 (12-83) OFA24E GR&WH

Obvious the GR & WH is the color & I'm guessing the DL # is the AKC # (that's what Sampson's # started with). What's the others though? -

Kinda interesting...I was browsing & I found out this sire is also grandfather to Ch Heathermsit English Muffin who was an entry to the 2005 Westminster. I thought it was neat that Jasper had a cousin (?) there anyway. :)

This is that dog's OFA records which is what some of those numbers are referencing.

Hope it helps!

Thanks. :) So I guess OFA24E means he was certified at 24 months and his hips were excellent. Now I'm just wondering what the (12-83) is. I thought it might be date of birth, but I guess not!
Okay, after some more research, here are your answers. (Actually thanks for the question because I learned a lot from looking into it!!!!! :D )

From the AKC website:
The date shown in parentheses after a dog's registration number is the month and year of the issue of the AKC Stud Book Register in which the dog's first breeding experience is recorded.

Also, here is a link to the AKC's "How to read the Pedigree" site:
