People-Feel free to link from your sites to the GSDBBR. You can use the puppy logo, as a link, if you wish. I am getting visitors from all over the world- if this becomes heavily utilized, the future of the breed will indeed, be brighter! It would be a wonderful tool for breeders!

Hi Marjorie

It is BVA for British Veterinary Association.

For elbows in the UK even though, they score each elbow they also give a grade which is the highest number ie a dog with 2:3 will be graded a 3, a 2:2 will be graded a 2. Still not got my scanner working if you pm me a postal address I will send copies of HD and ED scoring sheets.

I also find the list confusing as you have Allergies/skin conditions/autoimmune conditions listed seperately when more often than not they are one and the same, if you look at some of the entries under skin conditions, these dogs also have constation ear infections, allergies etc. which sounds like Atopy to me which is an autoimmune condition.

Sorry still not entered mine (will do though need to dig out reg no. etc.), maybe you could have a list of all autoimmune conditions in one area.

Hi Pam,

I separated skin conditions from autoimmune conditions as some dogs have autoimmune problems which are not skin conditions and some dogs that have skin conditions that arent autoimmune. It gets tricky, so we felt it was best to have their own categories.

Now, today, so far, 500 people visited from all over the word, but not onenew entry. I think people are waiting to see what others do? Is a puzzlement- it has obviously generated a lot of worldwide interest...Well, we shall see.. it would really besomething if GSD lovers across the globe joined hands... Makes me think of John Lennon's song "Imagine"...
