Breeding GSDs is all about the betterment of the breed.  It all about health certifications, training, pedigrees and lots of observation of the actual prospective pair.   We all know that there is absolutely NO PERFECT dog.   There will always be issues in any breeding.  We all know that we are breeding knowing that we are likely to produce puppies with some kind health issue. Issues we are not aware of.   Keeping that in mind, I would like to know what health issues are breeder being more concious of when breeding? 

I hope this makes sense. Please lets keep this thread educational and not a battle zone.

That is why I established the German Shepherd Dog Breed Betterment Registry.
http://www.gsdbbr.org I established it in the hopes of avoiding doubling up on health problems in the various lines.

Yes Majorie,  great site!   But as we all know, a person has to be 100% truthful about the info there. Or better yet, it is the information that is not put there that will affect a breeding  program.  I myself I have puppies off of 2 males listed there, but the genetic issues in the puppies are not listed on the dog's information there.    Sadly the breeder/owner of the puppy/sire has not been honest enough to put the info there. So honestly, we are back to square one. I am just one person, but imagine how many others that same thing has happened to?

 Back to my original question:  I would like to know what health issues are breeder being more concious of when breeding?

Hopefully the owners of pups will enter info, so the truth can come  out.
