You say so... But according to the stats I would not say that... It is nothing against your vet. Maybe he is really strict compared to others. But it do not seems that dogs in your country are evaluated stricter than in other....

You are right. But it is easy to explain. In countries where ALL results are published the statistics are "worser" than in countries where breeders and owners publish only part of the results and nobody knows all of them.

In Czech Republic, Germany and Holland ALL HD-result are published in the official databases and magazines so we can easily put them into the database.
In Italy there is database with all results but we are not able to check all dogs if they were x-ray tested so many x-ray results are missing.
In other countries we get only results sent by owners and breeders and as we know most of them send only the good results and hide the bad.

The best example can be exactly Poland because we know about many hidden things here... On the first look the stats look nice - there are many dogs with great HD-results and only few with HD. So someone can say the vets in Poland are to so strict because the % of dogs without HD is pretty high. BUT only if you don't know the reality. And the reality it: there are more dogs with middle and strong HD in Poland but info about them is not included in the database.
We know several cases of HD-checked dogs which have dysplasia but the results has been never officialy sent to us so we can not include the results in the database. No, the real statistics for Poland are much worser than according to the database because some breeders do not publish results which are worser than HD-B.
When we will count also cases of dogs with HD which we already know we get statistics which are comparable to the results in Germany or Holland. And for sure the stats are even worser because for sure we do not know about all hidden cases of HD.

And it is exactly the same reason why in some countries (for example also Italy) the percentage of HD-free dogs is higher or much higher than in other countries. Not because dogs living there are more heathy. Or because the vets are no so strict. But mainly because the breeders hide bad results and publish only info about HD-A and HD-B dogs...
