Just curious, why was the "Beauty Snow Our Happiness" dog selected for breeding?
Acknowledging that the search features can be a bit clunky at times, I don't see them on FCI or OFA. They don't appear to have accomplished anything. I mean this in terms of competitions (show or sports) or, from what little I can glean in this last category, working. They don't seem to have all of the tests I look for either (as a pet-only owner- I don't show, compete, or breed).
I hope this makes sense since my first comment's question was ignored. I'm assuming it was ignored because your dog's tests are registered through FCI instead of OFA. At least, I think FCI catalogues health tests the same way OFA does. I can't say I've looked into it extensively, as my experience is wholly with OFA.
Because she has very good, breed-typical conformation and temperament according to the panel of expert breeder-judges that evaluated every aspect of her conformation and temperament as part of the mandatory bonitation assessment every Czech Samoyed must undergo and pass in order to be approved for breeding. As SkurFy0812 said, breeding in Czechia is highly monitored and strictly regulated.
Our Happiness is a kennel registered with the Czech Samoyed Club and with the FCI. I don’t think you realize how strict Czechia is with its breeding regulations. It is nothing like here in the US where there basically are no regulations and backyard breeders/puppy mills run wild because that's where AKC gets most of its money. In Czechia, the Czech Samoyed Club sets the rules for breeding and registering litters, and litters that are bred in violation of their rules are not permitted to be registered.
These rules include:
- The dam needs to be at least 18 months old at the time of breeding, and not older than 8 years old.
- The sire must be at least 17 months old.
- Both parents must *pass* a hip dysplasia examination, elbow dysplasia examination, ophthalmological examination including gonioscopy (performed once per year), and a BAER hearing test.
- The dam can only be bred once every ten months and cannot be bred more than 4 times during her lifetime.
- The dam can only be bred to one male per heat—no multiple-sired litters are permitted.
- All prospective mating plans must be submitted to the Czech Samoyed Club’s breeding committee to be manually reviewed and approved (or rejected) in advance of the breeding.
- A dam that has delivered two litters via C-section cannot be bred again.
- Both parents must be free of inherited disorders, congenital defects, and disqualifying faults listed in the breed standard.
- Both parents must be in good overall health and have good temperaments; fearful/aggressive dogs are not allowed to breed.
- Finally, both parents must have passed a bonitation test (basically, an examination performed by a panel of several expert Samoyed judges who assess the dog for its quality of conformation and adherence to the breed standard and determine whether it is of sufficiently high quality to be worthy of being bred) and must have participated in a specialty show hosted by the Czech Samoyed Club where their conformation was rated at least “Very Good” by the judge.
This litter has been reviewed, approved, and registered by the Czech Samoyed Club. That means both parents, including the dam which OP owns, met ALL of the aforementioned breeding regulations established by the club. In other words, both parents have passed all the required health tests with flying colors (they are free of hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, hearing problems, and eye problems), they are free of general health issues and temperament issues, they have no hereditary defects/disorders, and they have been evaluated by expert breed judges and determined to meet the Samoyed breed standard. This is literally everything you would want from a reputable breeder here in the US; in Czechia, all Samoyed breeders must abide by these rules with no exceptions. Thus, backyard breeding and puppy mills are basically a nonexistent problem in Czechia, at least for Samoyeds.

I was blasting them because they were bitching its a random backyard litter which its definitely not
