For me the most honest and objective way would be to publish all stud dogs on the list with their HD and ED results.

And breeders who want to use a stud dog are smart enough always to ask the owner for copy's of all the official results before covering!
And based on this info they can make their own choose for combinations.

And yes there are now dogs with hidden results, or without results. Because not in all countries (or breed clubs) it is common or obligated to make ED x rays.
So it will be good to when we explain and explain again in every country, on wolfdog and in club magazines why it is also important to make ED xrays!

Till now in Holland only 1 (!) CsW was tested for ED. And not because the other owners want to hide things!!!
But because it is not a common or standard procedure in my country. (only for some breeds) That is why I also did write an article about ED in the Dutch club magazine.
And I hope that in future more and more CsW will have ED results.

But for me it is not honest (and smart) only to remove the CsW's with positive ED results from the studdog list.
While all other males with hidden or without results can be on the stud dog list.
