We spoke more about this problem during the weekend. And is seems worser that I though. I heard about dogs whith perfect hips (according the report written by Sterc) and HD result C or D. What's funny - the difference is not only between results in Poland (or other countries) and Czech Republic but also between vets in Czech Republic. You can ask 'alexa', 'Mirkawolf1' about the x-rays of their dogs (and their puppies). But the best example is Lucie Novoveska - she works in a veterinary clinic in Liberec. They make a lot of X-rays of German Shepherd Dogs, Labradors and also Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. And the story is like this:
"We make some HD-results of differents dogs. Sometimes we have a GSD and CzW. CzW has much better hips but some weeks later we get the results: GSD gets A(0/0) and CzW C(2/2)...." (the X-rays are judges by different vets).

So after it the results is - a nice dog with HD-C (by Sterc) makes witout any problems 100 km run with a good time but nobody will ever use him because nobody wants to cover bitches with HD-C males... Even if the hips are really good....

We will see - maybe it will be possible to make any changes. I hope we will speak about this problem during the conference in Prague in February. Because if it will stay so the breed will really disappear...but only in CZ. In other countries there are no problems like this even if the breeders use dogs imported from CZ....
