Breeding suitability guide — Shar-Pei
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DNA-Identitätsnachweis | Blutprobe (DNA-Profil) | Nachweis eines ISAG2020 Profils (oder ISAG2006 Profils) | — | VDH |
| Ocular anomalies | Physisch | Vorlage des tierärztlichen Augenbefundbogens | Complex | VDH |
| Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) | Augen | Auswertung vorhanden | Autosomal recessive | VDH |
| Elbow Dysplasia (ED) | Roentgen | Grade II or better (ED-II must be bred to ED-0) | Polygenic | VDH |
| Hip dysplasia (HD) | Roentgen | C or better (HD-C must be bred to HD-A) | Polygenic | VDH |
| Shar-Pei Autoinflammatory Disease (SPAID) (SPAID) | Koerperfluessigkeiten | S/S must be bred to N/N or N/S | Complex | VDH |
| Wesensbeurteilung | Verhaltenstest | Bestehen der ZZP (zuchttauglich ohne Auflagen, mit Auflagen oder bedingt zuchttauglich) | — | VDH |
2. Mating rules
When one parent has a borderline result, the other parent must meet specific criteria.
Hip dysplasia (HD)
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "C" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
VDHPatellar Luxation (PL)
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "0" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
Legacy3. Recommended additional tests
Sensible additions for line planning.

| Cleft palate | Physisch | CLEAR | Complex | Legacy |
| Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) (BOAS) | Physisch | — | Complex | CIDD |
| Cataract (HC) | Augen | — | Complex | CIDD |
| Lens luxation (PLL) | Augen | — | Autosomal recessive | CIDD |
| Patellar Luxation (PL) | Physisch | 0 | Polygenic | Legacy |
| Atopy (CAD) | Haut | — | Complex | CIDD |
| Demodicosis / Demodectic mange | Haut | — | Complex | CIDD |
| Epilepsy (IE) | Physisch | General breeding exclusion | Complex | Legacy |
| Familial Nephropathy (JEB) | Koerperfluessigkeiten | — | Autosomal recessive | CIDD |
| Megaesophagus (ME) | Roentgen | — | Complex | CIDD |
| Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd-PRA) (PRA) | — | CARRIER | Autosomal recessive | Legacy |
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'
