Hello, New To Board - Page 2

Welcome to the board - I can't view those pictures - can somebody please post them again so I can view them.  Ratpkken, I happen to know a litter mate to your Yanna.  I noticed you don't have Yanna posted to the PDB - you need to put her on the pedigree so she will show up under Zidane. 

Where do you live if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the welcome folks:)

Let me give you alittle background. I have raised/shown/and hunted 
rat terriers through UKC since 1998. I have several pups in conformation
agility ect including several top ten dogs through the years.
I believe in OFA testing 100% and have all my breeding dogs done.

This board cant be as bad as far as nastiness as those terrier boards LOL

I Purchase Yanna after our 10 yr old Zues had to be put to sleep. He had
severe crippling hip dysplasia. 
I had seen alot of GSD's, mostly american lines and (Hopefully 
this will not offend anyone)found them to be fearful, unstable dogs. 
I work for a vet, so these very well could have been backyard bred.

I NEEDED a mentally stable GSD who would be very patient with the terriers, 
(who of course are a HANDFUL! to put it mildly) I had wanted to start learning
and trying Yanna in Sch. That all changed when she came up lame at 5 months old. 
I OFA Prelimmed her and she came back fair on her hips. I decided that the hips
don't get better with age, so I discontinued training. It is my hope to restart with
Jagr.

One of my questions is concerning hips. Yanna at 2 yrs of age was certified with
Moderate subluxation on the right side only. 
Now, I have been told by 3 different vets that unless it is BI Lateral, it is NOT 
true CHD. What are the thoughts on this board? Yanna has never been bred, but she 
is still intact at the breeders suggestion. Something about it doing
more harm by spaying them since they gain so much weight?

Anyway. when I decided to get another GSD and try again, I tried to contact her
breeder and the webpage is down and the number is disconnected. 
Anyone know what happened or how to get in touch with her now?

I guess a list of terms and meanings would be what i am needing as far as
terms and abbreviations on the pedigrees. 

Thanks,, Shelly

Thank you SO Much for the list!

Yanna was X-rays approx 1 1/2 months prior to coming into 
season. 

Also, I forgot to answer the question as to where I live. I am in 
Alabama, just outside of Tuscaloosa.
