The GSDCA Thirteen Club
was formed in 1993. It's purpose is to collect health and pedigree data from owners of dogs who live to be 12 years of age or older. The Club recognizes longevity in an individual dog with a certificate program. The sires and dams of those dogs collectively form a database that might some day help us understand more about the genetics of longevity and health in the German Shepherd Dog. We urge you to participate.

13 Club members - Jan. 1 through Sept 30, 2008


A partial listing of other years of the 13 Club is available here


 

Any German Shepherd Dog who is 12 years of age or older is eligible for membership. Qualifying dogs must be nominated by their owners, who need NOT be a member of the GSDCA. A certificate of recognition will be sent to participants. Materials and information submitted to the 13 Club become the property of the GSDCA.

 

The 13 Club needs your help!
If your dog is a member of the 13 Club, be sure to notify Carolyn Putnam of the dog's date of death. Many animals now in the database are listed as being more than 20 years old. Help the Club keep accurate records:

If you know, or suspect, that the death of one your 13 Club dogs was not reported, PLEASE contact Carolyn with the full name of the dog, and the approximate date of death. If possible, the code number assigned to the dog will help in finding the entry in the database.
