This survey asks for information on your male English Shepherd’s ancestry. The goal is to identify the sire lines present in the breed today.
This survey is for breeders only and asks how many dogs are currently part of your breeding program. The goal is to estimate the size of the breeding population.
In order to study breed diversity and health, we have partnered with Embark and researchers at Cornell University to build a genetic database for the breed. Please add your dog’s DNA sample to this database!
