You do NOT need to be a ShilohZone member for your dog to qualify for SZ Keys of Victory status, but, you must have your Shiloh's health and/or temperament data entered into the Online Database.
If your Shiloh is not yet entered into the Online Database, you can enter their data and submit them for the SZ Keys of Victory at the same time, using the same form. The form can be found here Online Database Entry Form.

PLEASE NOTE: Status does not imply normal tests results - only that the dog was tested.

ALL testing that is done benefits our breed when the results are shared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To qualify for the SZ Keys of Victory status your Shiloh must have the following number of health tests for each status:
Bronze-3 tests Silver- 4 tests Gold-5 tests Platinum-6 tests Titanium-7 or more tests

The following tests qualify for Keys of Victory STATUS

PennHIP OFA Hip Certification OFA Elbow Certification OFA Cardiac Certification OFA Thyroid Certification Prelim testing of OFA Hips or Elbows
CERF Brucellosis Test TLI Testing DNA CGC ATTS TDI

Each one of the above tests qualifies for 1 STATUS point.

Repeated Tests of any of the above qualify for LEVELS within each status

Examples of repeated tests:

bulletMore than one Temperament Test
bulletOFA Cardiac recertification
bulletOFA Thyroid recertification
bulletCERF recertification
bulletRepeated Brucellosis test
bulletRepeated TLI test
bulletThe EXCEPTION to this rule is Hip and Elbow testing ... PennHIP, OFA PRELIMS and Adult OFA certification all qualify towards STATUS points. 

Other ways to qualify for LEVELS:

bulletThyroid Panel (Please Note: A Thyroid PANEL will alert you that your dog has a thyroid issue, whereas the OFA Thyroid test is also testing for auto antibodies to determine if the dog has the genetic form of thyroid disease).  Please Note: A T4 is NOT a Thyroid Panel but is an individual thyroid test.
bulletCardiac Screening (must be done by a canine cardiologist)
bulletEye Screening (must be done by a canine ophthalmologist)
bulletAdult Hip, Elbow X-RAY, or Back X-Ray read by canine radiologist or a orthopedic specialist (your Shiloh must have a prior test from PennHIP, OFA or GDC for hip or elbows)

The following tests qualify for Keys of Victory LEVELS

More than one Temperament Test OFA Cardiac recertification OFA Thyroid recertification CERF recertification Repeated Brucellosis test
Repeated TLI test Cardiac Screening/ Cardiologist Thyroid Panel Eye Screening/ opthalmologist Adult Hip, Elbow recheck or back x-ray.  Hip/Elbow must be read by radiologist or orthopedic specialist

 

For an example of this let's say that your Shilohs has:
bulletPennHIP testing (1 status point)
bulletOFA Elbow Prelim testing (1 status point)
bulletOFA Cardiac testing (1status point)
bulletCERF certification (1 status point)
bulletCGC temperament test (1 status point)
bulletATTS temperament test (1 level point)

That equals 5 STATUS points which puts your Shiloh at GOLD STATUS, and one LEVEL point which brings it up to GOLD STATUS LEVEL 2.

 

PLEASE NOTE: All testing results must be verifiable through either the OFA database, or you may email a copy of those tests which are not kept in the OFA database to the webmasters.  Your Shiloh does NOT need to have normal tests results and does NOT need to pass certification to be entered into the Database, or to qualify for Keys of Victory status. ALL testing that is done benefits our breed when the results are shared.  In addition, if you did the required health/temperament testing on a Shiloh that is now deceased that dog also qualifies.

 

CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
A certificate will be awarded to each dog for every new Keys of Victory status, and level within that status, they accomplish.  To see a copy of what your dog's certificate will look like please click here
