My 30 month old female GSD was rated with mild HD in the right hip by OFA at 24 months. At 26 months she received a normal grade from OVC. She comes from a long line of show pedigree dogs. I started schutzhund training but realized the dog does not have that type of pedigree. Poor nerves, little drive in all areas, not what I expected. My question is should I pay my breeder to release the breeding rights now that OVC has passed her hips. It was the breeders idea to redue the Xrays and submit to OVC. Breeders please inform me as what your opinions are. I am very reluctant to even consider breeding this bitch. Am I wrong or is my breeder wrong.

I would pass on breeding her. I would agree with you.

I would pass on breeding a dog with poor nerves, little drive and borderline hips. What else do you need to consider?

No. Do not breed this dog.

Even if the dog had excellent hips.. if the temperament is weak then IMO you are done. Dog does not get bred.

Human Societies are full of dogs with poor nerves....don't breed!

I agree, I would not breed her.

No, don't breed. Didn't breed mine for the same reason. Waited the two years to see that she was not breed worthy. Although it was before two years old I knew she was not breed worthy just on temperment alone!
