HD-ZW - Page 1

I am trying to find my pup's HD-ZW number on the SV website, and nothing is found. What can be reasons for that? She has pink papers. Does she have to be X-rayed beforehand? I thought I can find it baced on the parents' values... Thanks

Yes she has to be x-rayed before you can find her in the SV website HD database. You can guess as to what her value will be based on her parents. What you do is take the average of her parents and that should be hers if she has normal hips.

The sum of the parents ZW divided by 2 = the tentative HD ZW of your pup for the current quarter. HDa1 would be that number minus 4. (ie 100 + 100 = 200 ./. 2 = 100 - 4 = 96) If your pups gets an a2 or a3, or worse the ZW will go up from the current tentative value. The ZW also changes every quarter. You can only find a dog in the SV ZW site if that dog has an a-stamp certification with a passing grade. Dogs with a failing grade (a4 and a5) do not show up there.
