3. Clubs making sanctions against registration of litters from parents with unknown HD results

One website, or even poor reputations don't necessarily change the way people breed...for people like you or I - who do try to act in the best interests of the breed, it is equally important to know "what else" is out there - by allowing those litters with unknown results on here also - for better or worse - it promotes awareness, and the passage of knowledge. By including an easy link to articles on HD and bonitation, hopefully potential buyers will take a few moments to read and understand what they are looking at, and what they should be looking for...

And it is my goal - one day - to have bonitations in America!

All of the very best!
I agree, this is only one small step, but at least it is a step in the right direction

And in Sweden I think we will have bonitations about the year 2025
We will go to Germany or Poland I think

Best regards / Mikael
