Breeding suitability guide — Hungarian Vizsla
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ocular anomalies | Physisch | Frei von erblichen Augenerkrankungen | Complex | Legacy |
| Eye conditions (ophthalmological eye exam) (ECVO) | Augen | Clear | Complex | VDH |
| Wesensbeurteilung | Verhaltenstest | Passed | — | VDH |
2. Mating rules
When one parent has a borderline result, the other parent must meet specific criteria.
Ocular anomalies
Polygenisch — beide Elterntiere sollten mindestens das Ergebnis "CLEAR" erreichen. Idealerweise besser. Phenotypen aus belasteten Linien sollten nicht für die Zucht herangezogen werden.
Legacy3. Recommended additional tests
Sensible additions for line planning.

| Ectropion / Entropion | — | CLEAR | Complex | CIDD |
| Corneal dystrophy (CD) | Augen | CLEAR | Complex | CIDD |

| Hip dysplasia (HD) | Roentgen | B or better | Polygenic | CIDD |
| Lupoid dermatosis (ECLE) | Haut | Clear or Carrier | Autosomal recessive | AI-Vet |
| Sebaceous Adenitis (SA) | — | Normal | Autosomal recessive | CIDD |
| Hemophilia | Koerperfluessigkeiten | CLEAR | X-linked | CIDD |
| Hypothyroidism | Koerperfluessigkeiten | Normal | Complex | AI-Vet |
| Cerebellar abiotrophy, VMP1-related (CA) | — | Clear or Carrier | Autosomal recessive | AI-Vet |

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'
