OK, what is the meaning of this on the back of pink papers: "a" zuerkannt, Bef. normal I know the A is normal, but what is the Zuerkannt part mean?

What, no one knows????

Do a search on "a stamp" on here. You will find your answer there.

I did, there was nothing said about the Bef. normal??

HD-Zuerkannt (hip dysplasia-awarded) means that the dog is recognized posthumously for progeny whose hip quality was of at least average quality or better. He/she himself was not x-rayed and certified as hip dysplasie-free, but he/she were thought to be hip dysplasie-free because of quality of the hips of the progeny. Typically this was done in the days before the "a" stamp became a requirement. Since the early 1980's the "a" stamp program has been enforced, and you will no longer see this award indicated for dogs born after the late 1970's

My understanding is that it means the hips have been rated, but the actual rating (normal, fast-normal, NZ) is not known.

OK Im sorry. I thought that was probably already asked here.

by CMills on 09 June 2012 - 00:06

So the Bef. normal relates to the hips, or elbows? I was thinking the "a" zuerkannt related to hips, and the Bef. normal was related to elbows? Anyone know for sure?

Bef means results

B.Anderson- this relates to a 3 yr old dog currently living, who has this on the back of his pink papers, I know the part you're talking about, the post-humously awarded it.
