Red Books are your source for the latest in health, genetics and nutrition as well as serving as a "Year in Review". The Red Book is invaluable to 'novices' and 'oldtimers' alike as a reference for seeing who was winning, for researching pedigrees and in seeing who 'clicks' with whom! The Red Book, one of the best educational tools available in the breed today, could be called the "Year in Review" for the German Shepherd Dog. It includes three "Top Twenty" sire and dam sections for each specific year:

• Based on progeny placing at GSDCA Regional Futurity/Maturity shows (once a year shows held in 9 geographical areas for GSDCA member-bred litters)
• Based on progeny winning at AKC major pointed shows awarding 3 or more championship points.
• Featuring outstanding Lifetime Producers - the Top Twenty living Register of Merit Sires and Dams.

The Red Book also features reports from standing GSDCA committees such as:

• Health and Veterinary information specific to the German Shepherd Dog
• Annual Training Achievement Award: Statistics regarding sires and dams of those German Shepherd Dogs who have attained titles in the performance arena: Obedience, Herding, Schutzhund, Agility, etc.
• Thirteen Club: Honoring German Shepherd Dogs who have attained this age milestone with statistics regarding the producers of these senior citizens of the German Shepherd world.
• Award of Excellence: Honoring those German Shepherd Dogs who have achieved the ultimate distinction of superior conformation, intelligence and trainability, good temperament and physical soundness.

plus MUCH, MUCH MORE!

Why is it called the "Red Book"? Because the cover is Red!
