BREED SURVEY REQUIREMENTS

The breed survey is the ultimate instrument used as the selection method for the German Shepherd Dog Breed. It is absolutely necessary for the preservation and advancement of this breed. Originally developed in Germany for their domestic stock, in 1922 the breed survey also became the tool used as a resource for breeding the German Shepherd Dog.  Simply explained, German Shepherd Dogs need a certificate for reproduction.


A certificate is issued after a breed survey judge evaluates the dog’s temperament in different stimulus situations. The dog must always demonstrate a friendly and self-confident character and in any situation, must show control even when in confrontation with its own natural instincts.


The requirements to enter a dog in the breed survey event are not easy to achieve.


  • Must be registered and absolutely healthy
  • A minimum of 2 years of age
  • Must have successfully completed a 20 km endurance test, AD
  • Must have successfully completed a temperament test, B/BH
  • Received a rating of at least “good” in a breed show
  • Must have obtained at least a performance title of IGP1 for SV breed survey or SchH1, IPO1 or IGP2 for USCA breed survey
  • Must have certified hips and elbows


This may seem to be very restrictive, but it makes sense since we are looking for animals within our whole breed population, which have been selected based on their temperament, performance, and anatomy to improve and advance the breed. After these tests the dog will be measured, weighed, and anatomically analyzed in the stand position and also, when in movement. Of course, not all dogs will be able to reach the level of these certificates.

Note: AKC Registration is not a guarantee of quality, it is simply a certificate stating that a puppy has been born and registered to parents that are purebred German Shepherd Dogs.
