A stamp and dogs without SV registration? - Page 3

If you live in the USA why would you need to get the Xrays certified by the SV when you can get them done in your own country without all the hassle
Please explain the gain if any

I will not use OFA that is why I pay more wait longer and get consistent ratings that are what my dogs deserve.

I do both with my dogs.  It's also nice for me to see the hip/elbow certifications right in the dog's official pedigree.

I also like the fact that the dog is then in the "system" as far as ZW ratings go.   

Also, keep in mind, last I knew.  In order for a dog born after 2003 or 2004 (I think?) they must also have an elbow rating through the SV in order to be breed surveyed.

So all in all ,the SV is better than the results and system of the USA

I'm not doing it because I "need"  to, but to learn about the process.  I'd like to see for myself what sort of ratings my dog gets between the two systems and how it all works.  I'm just learning about all this stuff,  and doing it all first hand is educational.   I am not a breeder or competition performance person;  I'm just doing it to learn more about our breed and they systems that are in place for them.

Steve, dont know if any system is better. If you do a breed survey, WDA requires the elbows to be from the SV. The exact reason for that I dont know right of my head. It may has something to do with the recognition of the breed survey itself. If I am not mistaken, when you want to sell pups to germany, the parents need to be breed surveyed by an SV judge to have the pups later registered with the SV.

But if you dont care about a Koerklasse or SV or doing business with Germany, but still want to breed ethical, then OFA will do.

Most of the people i know like there breeding Dogs to be Koerklasse before breeding, Not all of course but i think that is the general aim,
Plus they like titles on there breeding females as well as the males, I suppose it makes sense, the more qualifications the parents have, the more saleable the Pups are. I do not breed so am only guessing but as a buyer i look for these qualities before i even approach the breeder, Plus i like to see the Parents working with my own eues, I am lucky over here in Belgium i do not have to travel far like you Guys in the USA to view the propective parents

I have seen both parents working many times of my next Pup after my Heidi, but i will wait for it to be born before i say who they are, and hopefully it will not be long now, I miss the Pup around and cannot wait to get my hands on it, I need to be working with a Dog, i am walking around like a lost at the moment

Steve,

It's not always the case here with the breed surveys.  A lot of dogs are bred without them or titles for that matter.  I'm just talking about the German line dogs here too.     It can be difficult to actually find a place to go do a breed survey too here.   It seems like people are always in a hurry to breed their dog. 

Find myself looking far in advance and planning for it.   

For my own purposes, I'm not a breeder, but feel like I'm doing all my homework when I decide to breed my female for sure.

And yes does make the pups more saleable.
