Breeding suitability guide — Samoyed
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ectropion / Entropion | — | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Optic nerve hypoplasia and micropapilla (ONH) | Augen | CLEAR | Unknown | Legacy |
| Pectinate ligament dysplasia (PLD) | Augen | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Retinal Dysplasia (RD) | Augen | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Distichiasis | Augen | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Cataract (HC) | Augen | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Lens luxation (PLL) | Augen | CLEAR | Autosomal recessive | Legacy |
| Persistent pupillary membranes (PPM) (PPM) | Augen | CLEAR | Unknown | Legacy |
| Persistent Hyperplastic Tunica Vasculosa Lentis (PHTVL) and Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous (PHPV) (PHTVL/PHPL) | Augen | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Hip dysplasia (HD) | Roentgen | C or better | Polygenic | CIDD |
2. Mating rules
When one parent has a borderline result, the other parent must meet specific criteria.
Ectropion / Entropion
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "AFFECTED" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
LegacyOptic nerve hypoplasia and micropapilla (ONH)
Empfehlung: Beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "CLEAR" erreichen.
LegacyPectinate ligament dysplasia (PLD)
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "AFFECTED" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
LegacyRetinal Dysplasia (RD)
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "AFFECTED" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
LegacyDistichiasis
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "AFFECTED" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
LegacyLens luxation (PLL)
Autosomal rezessiv: Beide Elterntiere müssen den Test bestehen (Ergebnis CLEAR oder besser). Zwei Träger sollten nicht verpaart werden.
LegacyPersistent pupillary membranes (PPM) (PPM)
Empfehlung: Beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "AFFECTED" erreichen.
LegacyPersistent Hyperplastic Tunica Vasculosa Lentis (PHTVL) and Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous (PHPV) (PHTVL/PHPL)
Autosomal dominant: Kein Elternteil sollte betroffen sein. Bereits ein betroffenes Elterntier vererbt die Erkrankung an 50% der Welpen.

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'
