As a breeder/owner of one of the 37 gsds in the CHIC database, I agree with you
that we should be doing more health testing. I would like to restrict my stud
choices to dogs that have passed all of the tests required for CHIC
designation. Sadly, that would limit me to very few stud dogs right now! I
think it is too bad that the dog can get a CHIC number without passing any of
the tests. That makes the whole thing kinda laughable.. It's a step in the
right direction, though, IMO.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] health testing
Ok guys questions....What breeders out there are testing for more then just
hips and elbows?? Why is there not more importance placed on testing hearts,
eyes, and thyroids? What about the DM flash test? Does anyone see that becoming
used more?
There are ONLY 37 GSD's listed in the CHIC data base. I have 2 girls waiting
for a GSDCA temperament test to me somewhere remotely near(and no Ohio is NOT
considered near). How many out there are waiting for the same??? We look a sad
lot compared to alot of the CHIC dogs listed of other breeds....Aussies over
1100, nearly 400 malinois, almost 300 dalmatians, almost 300 leonbergers(there
are only about 2000 in the whole country), over 1600 pembrokes, almost 650
swiss mountain dogs, just to name a few. Don't we have a FAR greater number of
dogs out there then the above breeds?
Does anyone else think its important to go above and beyond in the health
testing department????
