Due to the fact that we receive more and more emails questioning the quality of the Hungarian HD results I decided to check the whole topic once again. I discovered that most of the results that were put into the database are results evaluated by private veterinarians. The Hungarian breeders claim that also such results can be considered as official by their kennel club. But at the same moment we are getting from them more and more "denunciations" about "suspicious" results of dogs from other Hungarian kennels...
Because of it I asked independent sources for true information and I get:
In Hungary there are actually two hip evaluation organizations or registries. The oldest is FDB (Független Diszplázia Bizottság – Independent Dysplasia Committee), the second is MKOE (Magyar Kisállat Ortopédiai Egyesület – Hungarian Small Animal Orthopedic Association).
I will clean up the database and leave there only results of dogs which are officially tested by these registries:
- FDB (
http://www.fdb.hu/)
- MKOE (
http://www.kisallatortopedia.hu/)
(results evaluated by private veterinarians will be removed).
I hope it will solve the problem and finally clean the mess.
