Common ancestry

IMHO, a necropsy and releasing the cause of death should be mandatory on all dogs used for breeding. When you breed dogs, everything about them should be public. The care of the dogs, where and how they live and are cared for, health testing.....everything, including a verified cause of death.
I, not unlike anybody else on this forum, have a lot invested in my dogs and always will. The time, the training and all the work I have done to open doors for therapy work for dobermans, not an easy thing to do, btw.
I am currently researching for my next dog and I think it is important to know why the dogs from any given breeder died. A pattern may develop that may steer me away from certain lines.
When you think about it, any stud dog could sire 30 puppies easily. While health test can give us some information, it's only that the dog was healthy when the test were done, especially when it comes to the heart.
I for one, want and feel entitled to as much information as I can get to make the best decision possible.

So, kind of like a CarFax for dogs? Well, sort of maybe.

I found an excel template under 'family tree' that works for a pedigree. I wasn't sure if it should go under random photo. I know this image is too small to read but you get the general idea of it. Very easy to just fill in the names

Wow it's funny as much as I use Excel that I hadn't noticed that. I found a free blank template online and downloaded that one.

Can't believe there wouldn't be some "Blue" relatives on this site.

Also, I need to get better at picking registered names. Rubie's makes her sound... like a hooker.

Hmmm. I wonder if I could get my hands on Kaizers ancestry. The guy *said* both were Euro lines if I remember correctly. But it would be interesting to see what his dobie side really is.
