Health
Every dog on this site is published with its clearances in full — the ones held and the ones still open. This page is the standard the program tests to, and why each piece of it matters.
What the CHIC panel requires
For a Rottweiler, a CHIC number means five specific evaluations are on record: hips andelbows for the orthopaedic joints that carry a heavy working dog; a cardiacexam for the subaortic stenosis the breed is prone to; an annualeye examination; and theJLPP DNA test for the neurological disease that is fatal in affected puppies. CHIC certifies that all five were done and the results published — not that every result passed. Recording an evaluation that did not certify is the honest half of the standard, and it is the half most programs drop.
OFA and ADRK/FCI are different scales
A hip is graded one way in North America and another in Europe, and the two do not convert. OFA reads a hip film against a seven-point American scale and issues EXCELLENT, GOOD or FAIR for a passing joint. The ADRK/FCIsystem reads a different film, positioned differently, against its own scale, and issues HD-A throughHD-E. HD-A and OFA GOOD are not the same result translated — they are different panels reading different images by different rules. This site keeps a separate registryon every result and never renders one in the shape of the other; the AKC and FCI show records are kept in separate tables for the same reason.
Beyond the CHIC panel
The CHIC panel is the floor this program tests to, not the ceiling. Stud dogs are screened on a fullWisdom Panel — a breed-wide DNA screen well past the single JLPP result CHIC requires.Uvo Del Vecchio Rott's June 2023 panel returned clear on all 272 conditions tested, with the caveat Wisdom itself states: a clear panel covers the variants tested, not every variant that exists. Dentitionand long-coat results are recorded where the exam produced them, and where a cardiac evaluation was done at the advanced tier — an echocardiogram, not an auscultation alone — that echo result is what goes on file, because it catches a mild subaortic stenosis a stethoscope misses. Everything above the five required panels is published the same way the panels are.
JLPP and carrier breeding
JLPP is autosomal recessive, so a carrier bred to a clear mate produces no affected puppies — the pairing is safe, and the program breeds it that way.Yanni Dalla Casa Di Lucky Luciano was a carrier, bred once to a clear sire; her daughterMacht Haus Amina tested clear on her own DNA swab — recorded as a swab, not inferred from parentage. Carrier status is published rather than hidden, because a buyer researching a pedigree can act on what is written down.
Every dog, every panel
Generated from the dog records themselves, so it cannot drift from what each page shows. Solid mahogany is a held clearance, muted is evaluated but not certified, and a hatched cell is a gap — a panel not yet on file.
