Breeding suitability guide — Tyrolean Hound
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hip dysplasia (HD) | Roentgen | C or better (HD-C must be bred to HD-A) | Polygenic | VDH |
| Wesensbeurteilung | Verhaltenstest | Schussfestigkeit bewiesen, im Spurlaut mindestens Note „gut“ (3) und alle Pflichtfächer mit mindestens Note „genügend“ (2) bestanden. | — | 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.
VDH3. Recommended additional tests
Sensible additions for line planning.

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'
