Pre-lims CAN change in final reports, moreso in the elbows than hips, but both CAN change, and you didn't mention heart clearances.
It is great you have done what you have, it is certainly more than a lot of people do, but why can't you wait just a little longer and do it all as ethical breeders do?
Keep in mind, you are not living in Germany, your dogs I presume are not imports as you have not mentioned that, so why do you feel the need to breed before both of your dogs reach 24 months old, which is the norm in North America?
You said you have no problem breeding at 18 months if health checks are in place, but clearly, without a final OFA report, they are not in place, so MAYBE being patient is the best thing to do .... JMHO.

Kristi,
The FCI judge is not only a judge of Beaucerons, but also of Rottweilers.
No, my dogs are not imports. HOWEVER, I do not believe that the COE in the US is correct about breeding.
In reference to Skip's comments....My dog has her SG1, and other titles, as well as the fact that she is a certified assistance dog. That alone goes to temperament. She will never have a Schutzhund title due to the fact of my beliefs about Schutzhund trained dogs being assistance dogs. I do not believe that a dog who has been taught to bite has any business doing assistance dog work.
As I also said, she has 2 legs of her RN title, and will have the next leg within the next month.
BTW, Did I mention that she turns 2 in two weeks? No? See, all of you make assumptions....
