 The Canine Developmental Health and Performance Registry (CDHPR) is dedicated to the improvement of purebred dog breeds through careful breeding plans and precise record keeping. We help breeders naturally eradicate health and performance problems by introducing new genes among similar, purebred breeds.
For centuries, breeders combined dogs of different types to produce the healthiest and best performing dogs possible. Over time, these practices were abandoned.
Now, the CDHPR brings centuries-old breeding practices and the principles of natural selection together with cutting-edge technology and DNA research to help serious breeders solve the health and performance problems within their breeds.

You can improve your breed by following these steps to create your own CDHPR Breeding Plan:
- Identify a health problem in your line that you want to improve with another breed's genes or traits.
- Submit a Letter of Intent to CDHPR detailing how breeding in another breed could correct your line.
- If your Letter of Intent is approved, select dogs to use as the foundation for your CDHPR plan.
- Conduct mating of foundation dogs.
- Report all mating and resulting litters with CDHPR for recording.
- Run medical or performance tests on pups to evaluate improvements.
- Breed the best CDHPR dogs back to your purebred line or breed.
- Continue breeding generations until dogs breed "true" according to United Kennel Club.
- Register approved dogs with United Kennel Club as full purebred.
