Getting confused

ooops forgot the link, I told you I was getting confused

http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/536056.html

Yes ratings by the SV are given at a younger age, not sure what exactly...either 12 or 14 mos.  Sure someone that know's will clairfy.

1yr for SV. 2yrs for OFA.

if you look at the birth date- he's not a year old yet....... maybe they entered the wrong info

And if you accidently enter info for some reason it won't let you change it.  But yes, if the dog is registered with the SV/USA you can get their hips certified at 12 months.  It takes awhile, sometimes several months and you can do it through USA.  USA can also submit elbow xrays to the SV for evaluation.  The dog's original papers go with the xrays and the results are noted in the pedigree. 

You can submit to SV for hips and elbows through WDA also.  The dog does not have to be registered SV/USA.

I noticed that the other day on the database and wondered how a  10 mo. old is rated...and how someone can make that good of a mistake.....When you enter on the database you have to be very precise what you fill in the blanks with.....how can you put a rating in if you dont have one??????

I noticed a few VA sable Schh1 working line dogs - how is that possible?   Answer: it's not.  But sure makes the dogs sound good to those who don't know it's not possible!
