Who Reads the SV's Xrays for the Hip/Elbow Certifications - Page 1

Does anybody know the answer?

Hip x-rays are read and evaluated by Prof. Wilhelm Brass and his team of assistents at the TU Hannover (Technical University Hannover).
Elbow x-rays are read and evaluated by Prof. Bernd Tellhelm of the University of Giessen. Prof. Tellhelm is also the evaluator of hip x-rays in the case of 2nd opinions and arbitration in the SV. In addition, he evaluates for the RSV-2000 and other breed organizations as well.

The Hips are valuated by one Professor and the Elbows by someone else
the hips and elbows are not valuated by the same person. It pays also to get the DNA done at the same time, extra cost of course

The Professors who look and gives there judgment on the Joints of Dogs in the SV are Orthopedic experts, One does the Hips and another the Elbows.
 The DNA or blood sample is paid for at the time we have the joints X-Rayed, These also go to the SV but to a different place for testing and the result, We then get a bill for the DNA and the Hips and Elbows.
Gina is 12 months old this month i will wait a month or so before taking her to Holland to get the Joints x-rayed by a Top Vet who specializes in taking these kind of X-Rays as i have done in the past he then sends them on to the SV
 When we take the Dog to Holland to be X-Rayed we give the Vet the Original Pedigree of the dog, this goes to the SV sealed  with the X-rays and blood sample and is sent by the Vet to the SV to be signed for when delivered to them
When the SV sends the original pedigree back to me with the results stamped in i have to sign for the package. Overall it takes 3 months plus from start to finish to get the results back. That is the worst bit as you are always thinking about the results, however the Vet who does the X-Rays has a very good idea and he tells the customer what he thinks but of course it does not count but if he says all is well or not he usually is correct, Guys even drive from Germany to have the dogs joints done by this Vet he is very good indeed, one Fellow drove 1200 miles round trip with his Dog to have this Vet X-Ray the dogs Joints

I took Gina to him at 5 months old as a Prelim he took her spine as well that time he said then her Joints were great, But it did not mean that they would not change as she grew up. We will see how things are this time I must book her well up in advance  as he is a busy man so better do it whist i am thinking about it

Well they gave my gsd a normal at one year and at 3.5 years old he was dysplatic with osteoarthritis.
Just had my pup done by the regular vet then a Penn Hip evaluation.  I believe in this methold much more than any of the others, Just MHO.

These Profs in general are tutors at Vets Universities Here in Belgium they work at the Unis and do this job as well.
Regarding the DNA You cannot get a keuring with a Dog unless you have had the DNA this tells you that the dog is from the Parents it is supposed to be from and the pedigree will have the offical stamp on it just the same as the grading for the Hips and Elbows
Also over here if you want to breed from a Dog and register with the Governing body of the country then you must do the DNA that is the criteria set down
Yesterday i booked young Gina for her Hips and Elbows and the DNA i take her to Holland on April 4th
 the Vet will send the Bits on to the SV for there findings

you saying that the hips/elbow certification that the SV does is mute if you don't do a DNA as well?
