Breeding suitability guide — Miniature Pinscher
For breeders: which tests, which thresholds, which mating rules apply
1. Mandatory tests for parents
These tests must be on file for every breeding animal.
| Test / condition | Scoring scheme | Approved from | Inheritance | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ocular anomalies | Physisch | Clear (valid for 12 months) | Complex | Legacy |
| Patellar Luxation (PL) | Physisch | Grade 0 | Polygenic | Legacy |
2. Mating rules
When one parent has a borderline result, the other parent must meet specific criteria.
Ocular anomalies
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "CLEAR" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
LegacyPatellar Luxation (PL)
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "0" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.

4. HonestDog verification
- Upload a legible certificate (PDF or photo) per test in the breeder dashboard
- Certificate must show date, examining vet, and FCI/VDH logo
- Certificates older than 36 months are flagged as stale
- We check each upload for authenticity — the profile tile then shows 'verified'
