Eligible for breeding are all dogs entered in the USA Breed Book (if the owner resides in the United States), who on the day of breeding have at least one performance title (SchH1-3, VPG1-3, IP1-3, or HGH) obtained under a USA-recognized performance judge, a breed show rating of at least “good” obtained under a USA-recognized breed judge in the youth, young dog, or working dog classif not already breed surveyed under USA or SV regulations, and a USA-recognized hip certification.
4.1.2. Recommended for Breeding
Dogs recommended for breeding are those breed surveyed in Breed Survey Class 1 (KKL1) at a USA-recognized breed survey.

Dogs suitable for breeding are those breed surveyed in Breed Survey Class 2 (KKL2) at a USA-recognized breed survey.
4.1.4. Not Suitable for Breeding
Progeny of dogs classified as not suitable for breeding cannot be entered in the USA Breed Book. The dog owner is informed of this decision by certified mail. Appeals against this decision must be made within 14 days of the decision date. The person responsible for the USA Breed Book will decide appeals. The National Breed Warden will decide further appeals. The following faults preclude breeding:

• Documented hip dysplasia = NO (a1)
• Monorchids or cryptorchids = NO (female!)
• Disfiguring ear and/or tail faults =NO (SG!)
• Considerable anatomical faults = NO (SG!)
• Long coat or long stock coat = NO (SG!)
• Considerable pigment deficiencies, including blues
• Dentition faults as follows: (NO)

• Faulty jawbones: (N0)
• Overshot more than 2 mm
• Undershot
• Level bite

• Severed musculus pectineus
4.1.4.4. Surgical interventions for the purpose of correcting, obtaining, or improving a breed show rating (i.e., ears, tails, teeth, testicles, skeleton) entail a breeding ban and initiate disciplinary proceedings against the owner and/or all co-owners.
BUT THE ***3/12 IS THE GIVEAWAY = SHE WAS RESERVED, SUSPICIOUS OR AGGRESSIVE, WITH NO SHARPNESS AND WITH SOME (BUT NOT SUFFICIENT) COURAGE AND HARDNESS. She was not shy-sharp (not sharp at all), but she sure didn't want to be there! It seems she was "reserved" to the point of near incapacity.

I, myself, can be reserved to near incapacity on occasion.

I thought I recalled that the DDR survey system was markedly different than the SV's, in that it was coded much in the same way as I believe the other former Eastern Bloc countries (Czech, etc.) are. Checked my reference bookmarks, and voila! I was remembering correctly.
So, based on the chart below that explains the rating code, when the bitch was surveyed in 1980 and was not given a passing rating, this is how she was assessed:
5=Size--medium strong; 6=Appearance--robust, substantial; 4=Conformation--good angulation; 3=Temperament--distrustful or aggressive to people (DDR sharpness); /1=Fighting instinct--none; 2=Hardness--some
When resurveyed in 1981, when it appears she was given a passing rating, she had the same evaluation for Size, Appearance, and Conformation, but for Temperament, she was then rated at 7--Even tempered, calm, sensitive to corrections; for Fighting instinct, she was slightly upgraded to 3--fair, and for Hardness she was also upgraded slightly with a 3--fair.
I'm thinking that she if she was ultimately completely banned from use for breeding, despite appearing to have gotten a (barely) passing rating at the 1981 survey and raising the Temperament rating up from a 3 to a 7, it was because she didn't show sufficient improvement over the 1980 rating in the Fighting instinct and Hardness categories and therefore was deemed unsuitable (and reasonably so, IMO).

I think the breeder is still a member on here....Judy Malone, are you out there? Do you know what the story was for this particular bitch?
DDR Wesenwertmessziffernsystem
In the old DDR (East Germany) working dogs were rated under the Wertmessziffer system ( "measured value number"
system, which was quick and easily understood by breeders/buyers wanting to study the conformation/temperament of any
dog with a rating.
For example, a dog with a WZ of 6545/55 would be powerful, noble and strong, with harmonious and pleasing lines, good
angulation, , even-tempered, calm, can take corrections very well, with very good fighting instinct and hardness.
Below is a chart of the system. In pedigrees, you may see the numbers preceded by "WZ" or DDR Kör:

V3 1978 Siegerausstellung page 41
Gitta verkörpert in ihrer Erscheinung das Bild von bestechender Shönheit und Harmonie. Im Jahre 1977 erwarb sie den Titel "Jungenbeste". Im Stand gibt es bei ihr nichts zu tadeln. könnte im Vordermittelfuß eine Idee straffer stehen. Ihre Schädelbildung ist kräftig. Sie besitzt straffes, mittelgroßes, gut eingesetztes Ohr, Auge dunkel. Ihre Vorhand besitzt korrekte Winkelstellung. Das gleiche trifft für die Hinterhand zu. Alle diese Vorzüge runden das Gesamtbild dieser herrlichen Hündin zu ihrem Vorteil ab. Sie ist mittelgroß, im Format etwas mehr als mittelkräftig, was ihr aber nur zum Vorteil reicht. Ihre Oberlinie vom Widerrist, einschließlich Lage und Länge der Kruppe, hat herrlichen Fluß und Linie. Aus der Hinterhand entwickelt sie von der Seite gesehen kraftvolle Aktion. In der Trittfolge hinten ist sie im Schluß nicht voll fest, da sie im Unterschenkel etwas betont lang ist. Im Typ und Format ist sie eine überragende Hündin, die bei sinnvoller Einpaarung züchterisch etwas leisten müßte. Sie entstammt der Blutlinie XI B.

Uh-oh....that is an infamous name....I'm sure I heard it before, Judy Malone, oh yes, I did!
