A Message from National Breed Warden, Heidi Theis

Hello Everyone, 


Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Years! 
This is a reminder of a couple of items before year end!! 


1. If you are a USCA member and your dog is due for a lifetime breed survey this year (2021), USCA or SV survey, we are granting another extension due to the corona pandemic. Please contact Jody at USCA office if you’d like the extension. This will be final 12/31/21 so if you do not request extension by this time you will not be able to do it.

2. All dogs born after February 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, who would turn old enough for the Wesensbeuteilung (Character Assessment Test) during this time, upon registering for one of these future tests,  you will receive automatic permission from the SV if your dog enters a test over the 13 month cutoff age and you will not have to pay the penalty fee. (This test ONLY required for SV breed survey, it is NOT required for USCA breed survey until 1/1/2025)


If anyone has any further questions, please contact me at nbw@germanshepherddog.com
Thank you, Happy Holidays! 

Heidi Theis, USCA National Breed Warden
