Hello,
It seems that I'm in the court, but no problem I'll answer.
These answers are mine, other people in Belgium and other countries maybe will think differently. Everybody is free in thinking.
1/ Ysfenrir was not the original stud dog I had in mind for. Normally it must have been Kavak CW, my oldest male. But 1 day before he had to stud, he escaped and a car on the highway killed him. So suddenly I had to look for another stud dog. In Belgium there are not much stud dogs (3or 4), but to look for in other countries there was not enough time to call those people and arrange everything. Those owners also work. I couldn't also do it because I couldn't except the death of Kavak. I was like a dead body. So at that moment the other breeder in Belgium proposed his dog Ysfenrir. I agreed Ysfnerir because:
a/ I saw him many many times with Vandamme and he pleased me
b/ he had some good show results
c/ he is also very very social. Just like Akela. So in my opinion this pairing can have very social puppies. This is important I think, no ? Last year some people from the origin countries have written here on this forum that the western csw are too shy! With this pairing I want to prove the opposit.
2/ I don't have Akela from puppie and she had her first heat in october last year. Than it was too early for her and I expected her next heat in +/- october this year. So I had enough time for the X ray. Suddenly Akela was in heat in february! My vet told me that the narcose for the Xray was not the ideal moment now. So I diceded to cover her without HD results. Why? In her pedigree there is not much HD (A and B).
And Akela jumps without problems over 2 meter high fence. (I know a HD dog with strong muscles can do it also but ...) And when Akela is sitting, it's always a nice, straight sitting. This is perhaps not scientificly but another Belgian vet,specialised in HD, had told me that. And indeed she is wright because I had-have 2 german sheppard with very high HD (from origin country!) and they were always sitting like a puppy, with almost 1 leg onder their back.
3/For Ysfenrir you are wright. In the 3 or 4 generation there could have been HD. Some people told me but I could not check it. (not marked) But who breed with those dogs? Not me.
It wil be the last time I take a stud dog without HD results.
Can you tell me if an HD B in Belgium is the same as an HD B in the origin countries or spain or Italy? NO, I have the prove here at home that it isn't. I don't give any details more on that. It's private.
4/Those stud dogs have both an HD A !!
Edy Krivotklasky has covered the second time my Branca, but without succes. (Brancas fault) So I had the opportunity to learn this dog for 3 weeks. It's also a social dog with hy caracter. (his picture with Branca by gallery breeders)
Nexus Titan van Rijneckerhof, I've seen him and learned him lest year at the first meeting in Belgium. From that moment I keeped contact with the owner. He is one of the first CSW in our countries with official "working dog" certificate!
Number 5 I'll answer tomorrow.
