"A" Stamp Database?

GranvilleGSD · 03-07-2009, 01:40 PM

Is there a place online to check the hip/elbow ratings of dogs that are "a" stamp? For example, if we want to check ofa we go to the ofa website, is there a similar thing for "a" stamp? Is it checked on the SV site, sadly I can't navigate anything there since I don't know German.

not that i know of, just the sv database that gives zw numbers.

Not online no. You can check a dog's ZW # on the SV website, but can't get his A stamp rating. For A stamp ratings you can purchase the quarterly genetics CDs from the SV and it has this information as well as ZW #s etc...

Oh, ok. Seems silly that they wouldn't have a database to check like the OFA. Leaves a lot of room for people to be dishonest about hip ratings

I was just curious. Thanks for the info.

Is there any specific dog you want to know about?

You can get some hip and elbow information here:

WinSis Database

Hope this helps!

You could ask to see the dogs registration papers. The A-Stamp will be on the paperwork.

No, no specific dog in question. A friend of mine just imported a dog from Germany, everything went smoothly and the dog is great, but it got me thinking. I'd be so afraid to import a dog without going to get it myself, seeing it in person and seeing the proof of hips/elbows etc.

Lindsay,

That is normal. Most people that "import" per their web-site do not go over on a consistent basis, eval the dogs themselves. Some do not even have the experience to do so, but use connections and base the dogs on their contacts over there.

Not worldwide that I know, but when I impoted Diabla from Argentina, they do have a list with the hip rate of every dog.
