BreedWatch - A truly unique concept

There was no formal system within the GSDFSA to gather and analyse judges' feedback across breed shows into a single national picture. The BreedWatch Post-Show Survey was created by the Education & Technology Sub-Committee to fill this gap. 
​
Under the leadership of Dr. Morné Strydom, the Edu-Tech Committee is excited to present this information to Breeders, and encourage you to use the BreedWatch reports as a tool in your breeding decisions!
