ED - new rules

[admin]

We received new rules about the ellbow dysplasia. After the club conference in Czech Republic in June the club decided that ONLY the ED-free dogs can be used for breeding. So from now all dogs with result worser than ED 0-0 will be no more listed on the stud dog list.

In Czech Republic all dogs after 1. 1. 2011 must have the HD and ED results. We will move it a little bit - owners of stud dogs have time till 01.06.2011 to make also the ED-results (in the case where it is missing). After this date ALL dogs with missing ED-results will be removed from the stud dog list.

GREAT but one !!!. in all normal club when make new regulation are this type text :"dogs who born later XXX date mas have this and this." older dog stay in this same breeding rules. Or dogs who are older like 5-7 years not have X-ray younger mas have.

are there going to be other rules for the stud dog list from other countries? I think it is a good thing that all stud dogs should be ED free, but Is it the same for the females?
In Holland the only thing that you need is HD result that are good enough, but no thing about ED (at this moment), are the males going to be removed from the stud dogs list from holland also without the ed results?

I think yes, but better ask
Will it also affect the "planned litter" announcement rules?

It is not right information. I proposed to start ED researching for all breeding dogs from 1.1.2011. All people voted for my proposal. Thanks God. My second proposal was . From 1.1.2011 will be in breeding only dogs with ED "A". But in this moment people voted against me. So result is: in years 2011 and 2012 will club watch ED results of all dogs and it will watch health situation in czech population. (All ED results will be publiced). After these two years will club propose health provisions. So I will try it on next club conferention once again and I will want the same: only ED A dogs will go to breeding.

if you are removed, from the stud list, dogs with problems ED very little (ED 0-1) not becomes important to wait for the date 01.06.2011 to remove the dogs without the results of ED.
Dogs without results ED, for this new law, have no reason to be on the stud list.

I think that not harm using a dog with a little problem ED 0-1.
You can also use dogs with hip dysplasia grade B and C (certainly they should be used with much caution and intelligence).
Even though sometimes things are different this is a decision that makes me remain puzzled.
This summer, when I go in the Czech Republic, I inform good.

Interesting correlation between HD and ED:

Risk of simultaneous phenotypic expression of hip and elbow dysplasia in dogs: a study of 1,411 radiographic examinations sent for official scoring. [dec. 2009]

Abstract

In order to look for phenotypic correlation between hip (HD) and elbow (ED) dysplasia, we used radiographic scoring obtained from 1,411 dogs of different breeds, which were evaluated for authoritative grading of both conditions. In this population, we found that the risk ratio for an animal to be simultaneously affected by HD and ED is 1.67. For a dog with ED, the risk ratio to be affected by HD increases as the ED grade increases. Similarly, for a dog affected by HD, the risk ratio to be affected by ED increases as the HD grade increases. In a dog affected by HD or ED, the clinician should look for the second condition in the same animal. Due to the low, yet positive correlation, selection against one trait will not affect the other trait sufficiently. Therefore selection has to be conducted at reduction of HD as well as reduction of ED.
