Hello,
I am considering a puppy from this breeding: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/breeding.result?father=2425193&mother=2063288
A lot of the dogs on the mother's side have a3/noch noch zugelassen hips. To my understanding this means mildly dysplastic by OFA standards, but still permissible to breed by the SV? This leaves me somewhat uncertain, as I hope to show this puppy and perhaps breed if she does well. I'd just like to know the chances I am taking, and if you would feel OK with a pup with this pedigree.
Thank you in advance!

If you look at the sire's HD ZW rating (numerical hip "breed worth" rating), his score is 80. By definition, 100 is average. So, in theory, he should have a better than average chance of producing sound hips.
If you can verify the dam's hip ratings, I wouldn't let the grand parents' hip ratings keep me from a puppy from this litter if I liked everything else. But I would want to verify the dam's hip score and current hip status. (I've also known dogs who were rated a3 who had absolutely terrible hips on re-xray as 5 or 6 year olds).

You can look at the Italian ENCI database online to see if the hip scores of the dam are official (I checked, she has a B rating).
Also a small correction - the average for HD you should aim for is updated every quarter by the SV and as of 12/2018 it stands at ZW80
Kind regards,
J
