I hope that a DNA-Test for HD will bring some improvement. But when I look at some matings it will only work when the FCI gives a general rule how to use it for breeding you definetly can´t rely on the breeders. The test is tested on the GSH-population at the moment and will be available for all breeds in some years.
But When you compare statistics you have to be very carfull, I don´t know who the OFA is but the German SV classifications differ from the usual ones, at least some years ago - and as far as I know till today - they have A1 for the normal A, A2 for the normal B and A3 for the normal C, what gives you a very high percentage of A´s.
