Desired by the delegates the FK WP should quote one responsible person. Besides the intermediate results are to be submitted to the clubs immediately.

ED evaluations
The proposal of the breeders group BBSBC (U. Warden) concerning ED x-ray and evaluation methods in the different countries was discussed. While in some countries ED x-ray is not even mandatory, others expect 2 or 4 photographs, exceptionally a 5th frontal picture is made. Obviously the results are accordingly different. It is quoted that by FCI there are unfortunately still no obligatory regulations for this matter.
It would be of great interest to create a grid of the different countries concerning the x-ray regulations. The current breeding conditions for the BBS are to be collected to an overview. A provisional classification for countries/regions is provided and the evaluation of the valid health breeding conditions transferred to 6 different delegates.
