If a 13 month old female GSD has ED1 and HD3, is it okay to breed her when she is ready and old enough? Is it likely that those results get better or worse after several months?
Thanks a lot

have her re-examined when she is 18 months. If results aren't better, I would spay her.

Ibrahim,
I worked as a vet tech and my experiences during that time was, that if a young dog had a bad rating, it generally won't get better...If there is a good rating chances if it getting worse are better then a bad rating getting better......NOW if its laxity due to weak ligaments, than with proper exercise and diet, the ligaments could strengthen therefore holding the joints tighter, then it could definitely improve the rating.
Just my opinion from my own experiences actually working within a vet's clinic...
