| Germany does allow +/- to be bred. And a Grade 1 elbow does not always mean crippling or pain. Many Grade 1 (DJD as Diane clearly stated) dogs go through their lives with no further discomfort than clear dogs. There needs to be a little bit of perspective here.
And no - I would not rebreed a bitch that had produced multiple puppies with DQ faults OR multiple ED. Neither is acceptable.
