The USA follows the International Standard for the German Shepherd Dog, which is the acknowledged standard in almost every (if not every) major western country in the world except the United States and Canada. They are also a Breed Registry for German Shepherd Dogs, affiliated with the SV in Germany. Dogs registered through USA are given both a USA number and an SV number, and the pedigree issued is processed by the SV in Germany and looks the same as the German pedigree.

Effective 1 Jan 1996, for litters to be registerable with the USA, both parents must be OFA or "A" certified and both parents must have a working title.
