HD x-ray not before the age of 15 month, evaluation by an expert (1-2 experts / breed)
negativ eye test on genetic eye diseases, evaluation by an expert
one exhibition with very good or better
one check for breeding permission by a German international judge on special occasions, with messurement of heigh and judgement about charakter (not strict enough)
That means the dog is around 2 years when it goes into breeding because you have to do everything else before you can go to the last check.
Only one litter a year for the bitch, after more than 8 puppies you have to have one year between the last birth and the next mating. As discussed here before you can get a special permission for the latter if you have good reasons and the bitch is health checked and there are no reasons at all against mating.
Last litter in the 8th year of the bitch, special permission possible.
Your kennel, your knowledge and your dogs get checked by a VDH breeding advisor before you get breeding allowance for your kennel. The puppies get checked with 7 weeks and 8 weeks, they have to have their first vaccination, worm treatments and microchip before the last check, before that date you are not allowed to give away any puppy. The breeding advisor checks for teeth abnormities, tail or spine abnormities, kryptorchism, any abnormities are written in every pedigree of this litter as "at the time of the last check".
