A possible proposal we discussed in the Italian forum is: publishing all studs, and flagging with a particular symbol the studs that are in possession of all the requirements indicated by the Clubs.
A disclaimer at the beginning of the list together with a legend could explain:
- that dogs are included in the list together with HD and ED results (if available),
- that it is highly recommendable to check carefully HD and EH results;
- that according to "X" Kennel club only studs with (for instance) HD A to B, ED 0 should be used for breeding, and according to "Y" Kennel club..(to be completed with other requirements if different)
- that the symbol "#" means that the dog is in possession of all the requirements requested by "X" Kennel Club, that the symbol "ΒΆ" mens that he dog is in possession of all the requirements requested by "Y" Kennel Club...
The symbols I indicated are only an example; we could make different colors, or adding a column ...or whatever could be useful to identify "recommended" studs, without eliminating the others, and leaving breeders free to choose and/or evaluate.
I believe this way of proceeding could be a fair compromise between who wants rigid rules to be applied in order to safeguard the breed, and who prefers to be provided with as much information as possible about all existing studs
