All evaluations - OFA, CERF, GDC - except PennHIP are verifiable online. GDC does not indicate whether or not the dog was affected or unaffected - just that it was evaluated BUT unaffected evaluations are found in Berner-Garde. Also, my first concern is that the dog WAS evaluated - not whether

We just went through all this. I missed how old the puppy is but I can tell you what has worked for us. Cooper is now 7/8 months old. We picked up his water at 9:00 p.m. He went out at least once/twice in the middle of the night (at very first it was thrice!). For a brief time he went out at

I have to agree with MaryAnn on this. Restricting water may just cause a urinary tract problem. A young puppy is a baby, and frequent potty needs just goes with the territory. My theory for my own dogs, and my students, is if the puppy immediately relieves himself upon being let out, then he

No GDC evaluations are verifiable on line, and not all of the unaffected GDC certifications are going to be in Berner-Garde. Most of them are, but not all. But with enough motivation, you can contact GDC and hound them for the actual certifications. You don't get the actual certifications on the

Hi Pat, You are correct. I did not make my statement clearly enough. But the fact is, MOST GDC unaffected evaluations end up in Berner-Garde without any action by the owner of the dog. Affecteds are another story. The KinReports that I have ordered in the past, show the dog's GDC number,
