On the GSDBBR (German Shepherd Dog Breed Betterment Registry, a Health Registry for GSDS)
http://www.gsdbbr.org
health problems or causes of death as well as the history of healthy individual dogs are recorded, as well as frozen or chilled semen available from entered studs. If the dog has had litters, and is entered upon the database, litter history will also be recorded and available for viewing. Pedigrees of entered dogs are available for viewing, along with any comments the owner of the dog wishes to record/has recorded.

To research pedigrees and/or health problems:

---go to the summary analysis page
---scroll down and click on the health problems or causes of death listed in which you have an interest. 
---A list of dogs will be brought up with their pedigrees.
---By clicking on a dogs name on the left side of the page, you can look at the pedigrees by clicking on the name of the dogs on the list.
--- Each pedigree will come up on a new page. 

If


If you wish to search for frozen or chilled semen available from dogs entered upon the database
---go to the search page
--- enter frozen or chilled semen in the search box
--- check off yes to the question "Only return males and where frozen or chilled semen is available?"
 ---A list of dogs will be brought up.
---Click on the individual name to view their pedigrees.

Hip and elbow status are recorded, as well as certifications for any dogs that have been officially tested for various health problems.

Titles the dog have earned will also be listed on their individual pages.

The GSDBBR is open to all owners of Registered German Shepherd Dogs, worldwide, that have titled dogs or dogs within 5 generations of their dog's pedigree that are progeny/ littermates of these titled dogs. German Shepherd Dogs entered upon this database must comply with their country's breed standard, or be the progeny of a breeding of 2 German Shepherd Dogs, both of which comply with the breed standard.* This registry will house information pertaining to German Shepherd Dogs, both alive and deceased. You may only post information about a dog you own!

This Registry has been created in an attempt to gather comprehensive health information which will enable breeders to make more informed breeding choices and to avoid doubling up on health issues.

We thank all who will participate in this Registry for caring enough to want to take a proactive role in bettering the health of the breed. Together, we CAN make a difference!

I would like to thank those of you who took your time to enter your dogs on the GSDBBR, since  I posetd about it.  I am also adding some new info which will record the OFA DM DNA Test so please make sure you keep your confirmation emails. You need your number to edit your entries, for security. If anyone who entered a dog upon the  GSDBBR lost the confirmation email and you cannot update your dog's entry, please contact me.

Thank you. I wish more people would enter their dogs- had tons of lookers, but only a few entries... There is only one way to make a healthier breed, and that is to share information.

My webmaster and I am working on the code to add the OFA DM DNA Test to the German Shepherd Dog Breed Betterment Registry. It should be ready to roll any time now! For those of you who have already entered your dogs, you will be receiving an email as to how to update yor entries. This will also create a database of tested dogs, which one can peruse via the search button on the GSDBBR site.

OK- the OFA DM DNA Test has been added to the German Shepherd Breed Betterment Registry! If you entered your dog upon the GSDBBR and and have had your dog OFA DM DNA tested, you can now enter the results of your test if you kept your confirmation email, as instructed when you entered your dog. If you do not have your confirmation email, which enables you to update your entries, at any time, I will be sending out a mailing within the next few days, with instructions on how to update, if case you forgot to save your confirmation email.

I hope more do to! In fact, I cannot understand, with all the problems in the breed today, people dont participate in the manner in which I anticipated they would. Everyone talks about how concerned they are, yet few step up to the plate. Lip service is not going to make things better- only actions, will. People need to be proactive if health problems are ever going to be eliminated or reduced. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why such a valuable tool is not being fully utilized. Out of 2000 visitors, there were only 4 entries since I posted this last week. Strange... Obviously people have an interest, but if few participate, how can it ever reach its potential?
