I have some questions that hopefully you can help me with. First off, what technically makes a GSD a pedigree? What does it take? Does it just have to be registered through the AKC? Does it have to be proven as a Schutzhund? Also, why does it seem all the dogs that compete in Schutzhund have "VON" somewhere in its name? I'm just trying to figure all this out.

Thanks in advance
Matt

I hope this post is in the right spot.

Ok, thanks for all the information. That's what I suspected about the pedigree title, but I wasn't completely sure.
