I am new to German Shepherds and have many questions on the HD German terms. Can someone help me with the term "Zuerkannt" and what is the difference between it and "Noch Zugelassen"?
Michele, you may want to ask the full question you have. There are MANY years of expeience on this board, as a whole, so you won't need to feel like you will loose people.
Well, you may loose ME, but somebody who will be able to answer your well-formed question will not be so easy to confuse. As for me, hey, I used to be blonde! :wink:
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see how OFA compares it's hip ratings to the German "a" stamp program ratings. Noch Zugelassen = Mild dysplasia
I have been told by many others that it is really more like Borderline.
Thank you for the link to OFFA that is great info. I am sorry that I was not very clear on my questions. I will try to make a long story very short. I bought a male GSD from a breeder up in OR. She had only sent me the sires pedigree and all of the hips behind him are normal, I had requested the dams pedigree but was never sent it. I found it in GSD Pedigrees and a local breeder had looked over the pedigrees and told me to get rid of the dog "there is bad hips behind him on the dams side". So I learned the hard way what Noch Zugelassen means. I took my dog in and had him x-rayed and he is dysplastic. I felt like someone has shot me through the heart. So know I am trying to look at all of her pedigree's and have come across the word Zuerkannt and if that means Awarded is that one step off of Noch Zugelassen? I am in hopes of getting a replacement puppy but it is not looking very good since she still has not returned a phone call and it have been a month. We do have a signed contract.
Michele, I'm so sorry to hear about your trivails! :frown: You mentioned a contract... Does it SPECIFICALLY mention hips and what would be done should a hip issue be discovered? Read the wording carefully; many times, you would have to supply the x-rays and statement from the certifing vet. But, if everything in the contract allows, you WILL be getting SOME form of satisfaction from the breeder.
You may want to speak with a contract law attorney, just to start the ball rolling, and have a registered letter sent to the breeder, informing them of the hip issue. Registered letters tend to get a bit more notice than your average bear.
At any rate, my heart goes out to your dog and you!
I have sent her a certified letter and they signed it. It contanded the letter from the Vet, my letter to her, the OFA report and a picture of his head showing a bad ear. She says she gaurenties ears and hips from dysplasia. I will look up the link. Thank you all very much, I know this will not be the last. Michele
