Initially it was a the voluntary scheme but in 1995 it was a requirement that to participate in the German Shepherd Dog Council National Breed Survey Scheme the animal must have been awarded a GSDCA ‘Z’ stamp or its approved equivalent. In late 2012 the GSDCA changed its requirements so that the x‐rays could be identified with a GSDCA tattoo number and/or a micro‐chip. The x‐ rays must be identified radiographically with the GSDCA tattoo number and at that time was the only means of accepted positive identification. In 1991 it was agreed that a GSDCA Elbow Dysplasia Control Scheme be introduced with the same guidelines in regards to identification of x‐rays as the GSDCA Hip Dysplasia Control Scheme. So to put the rumour and innuendo to rest I have written this article. In my position as National Breed Commission Chairman, I have received numerous requests for clarification of the elbow grading system in Germany. Over recent times it has become apparent that there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding relative to the grading system used by the SV in their assessment of Elbow Dysplasia. The kennels being awarded the Hip Dysplasia Control Scheme Medals are published in the National Magazine following their presentation.Ĭomparison of the GSDCA elbow scheme with the SV schemeīelow is a document which compares the Elbow Dysplasia Control Scheme conducted by the SV with the GSDCA Control Scheme written by the NBC Chairperson.Įlbow Dysplasia Control Scheme conducted by the SV HD/ED Control Scheme medals (for breeders)

This in turn ensures that the soundness of the breed progresses. The GSDCA conducts a Hip Dysplasia (HD)/Elbow Dysplasia (ED) Control Scheme in order to ensure that the breed average scores for hips and elbows for the German Shepherd Dog remain as low as possible.
