Yes, Mikael. That is correct.
As a puppybuyer you can always ask about x-rays, or any other things you are interested. And, you are the one who choose where you will buy your pup.
And as a breeder i always tell about my dogs, and as i wrote here already, all of my dogs do not have official x-rays. Is nonsense to lie about this as every pup buyer can ask official paper from x-rays very easily.
I have x-rays of my dogs, (HD/OD/BACK) and puppybuyer can see those, or have copy of those to show for vet he/she wants to. (if want to)
I also have DNA results from my CsV pups/litters. OFFICIAL.
and :
1, The vet is not approved x-ray specialist.
in Finland there is vet's who also work in FKK hip panel too. So, can be,
but often is not, that is correct.
2, You might know the vet in person, you are a vet or work as a vetassistance.
OF COURSE, there is also countries where you get good results with money.. or there is always people faking with many ways.. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. And.. what if you are a vet, or vet assistant, and you will take x-rays from other dog, which you know is healthy, and will send in names of other one.. ? EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Also in the dogworld.
3, It is to easy to fake a unofficial x-ray.
Is also TOO EASY TO FAKE OFFICIAL X-RAYS, i know one case personal, in other breed.. amazing, but truth. And very shame.
Only difference in my unofficial x-rays to official is that never sent to FKK. Is 100% same x-ray as official, with ID numbers, i just didn't send it to FKK. So, possible to send to FKK if want to.
There is possibility to x-ray dog in other country too, and is not difficult. Momentally i do not see any reason to do that, for me this way is enough. I am not ready (and momentally i do not have any possibilities) to travel with my dog (s) because of x-rays for many thousand kilometers.
I have 2 cases with official x-rays also so, that we waite hips B/C, came A/A,
and we waite elbows 1/1, came 0/0 (on other breeds)
Did i complain? NO..
I hope you are happy with your dog, even, it's parents not x-rayed officially both, i think he is a great companion to you, and i really wish all the best for you with your dog, even the dog is not from me.
