I was not going to jump in this, but forgive me, I can't help myself.
Historically the Nationals are conformation events. One judge, one
opinion.
To do more would be the biggest mess. If dogs meet all, or some of,
the
above criteria add it in front or rear of his name. The GV & GVX
should be
the best physical example of our breed in accordance with our
standard. No
more, no less.

An old friend once said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I
completely agree with Randy, but will go once step further. I think
our National is a well-thought out, nobly planned happening, put
together by the membership's blood, sweat and tears. Why turn it
into a complicated mess by additional requirements which might not
prove necessary anyway? I OFA all my GSDs--that doesn't mean that
Jeddie and Brando, both OFA Excellent, OFA Elbows can't PRODUCE hip
and elbow dysplasia. Same with Tabu who is OFA Good, OFA Clear
Elbows. The clearances and health certifications that I get are for
MY benefit--I want to know that my dogs are fine. Personally, I like
the National the way it is, the way it has evolved.
