Do the Raad, V.D.H. , FCI or KMSH offer any online databases to check HD and ED status? For example you an go to www.offa.org to find a dog's OFA status or to the SV for the Z.W. number. Also does the SV have an online database to confirm the actual a stamp classification?

Bieden Raad, V.D.H., FCI of KMSH om het even welke online gegevensbestanden aan om de status van HD en van ED te controleren? Bijvoorbeeld gaat u naar www.offa.org de status van OFA van een hond vinden of naar SV voor het Z.W. aantal. Ook heeft SV een online gegevensbestand om daadwerkelijk een zegelclassificatie te bevestigen? Ik verontschuldig me voor de vertalingen hieronder zij mechanische vertalingen door babelfish zijn

Bieten das Raad, die V.D.H., die FCI oder die KMSH irgendwelche on-line-Datenbanken an, um HD und ED Status zu überprüfen? Z.B. Sie gehen zu www.offa.org, Status OFA eines Hundes zu finden oder zum SV für die Z.W. Zahl. Auch hat das SV eine on-line-Datenbank, zum das tatsächliche zu bestätigen eine Stempelklassifikation?

Thank you Senta and Louise. As mentioned in my post I am familiar with the page you both referenced  but this merely gives the ZW number and does not indicate the "a" status ( normal, fast, noch). I'm looking for a German and FCI or European version of the OFA database where you can input name or registration number come up with an actual hip rating and if it showed relatives and progeny like OFS that would be even better.

I have found a lot of stuff on both the Raad and VDH site that talks about hips and elbows but nothing that references a database. The VDH site has a pedigree database ( Darwin) that is quite good if a bit cumbersome ( great for checking the accuracy of Dutch pedigrees) but does not show any title or health clearance info.

Also the language on the Raad site seemed to suggest that they have or are working on a scheme similiar to the ZW one - does anyone know if this is true ( working with mechanicl translators can be tough following more complicated discussions)?

The ZW of any "a"-stamped dog/bitch is available on the S.V.'s website as has been mentioned above. I do not think the "a" stamp value (1, 2, 3, 6) can be found anywhere on the S.V.'s web-database. The best sourse for detailed data is the CD-ROM titled "S.V. Genetics" that is published each quarter of the calendar year and available for purchase from the S.V. store. I agree it is a shame that this is not available online, but it is something that provides a tiny bit of revenue for the S.V. and allows information to be viewed by non-members.

As far as the V.D.H. or the F.C.I. I can offer no advice as I have never looked through their records available.

Senta,  The SV hip classification issues "a' stamps .  A1 = normal a2=fast normal a3= noch zuglassen and a6 means the hips were scored outside of Germany.

The ratings on this site are not totally reliable because there is no verification process that that rating was actually given to that dog. The problem with an open source database such as this is that anybody can upload anything or even go in and change someone else's record. Thus I was looking for an official secure database where one could check the rating. I'm especially interested in finding that for dogs that are scored under FCI schemes because often the pedigrees we see for these dogs do not contain that information.
