The DPCA - Longevity Program - BFL Application

Bred for Longevity Application

You can apply for a Bred For Longevity-1 Certification if your dog's parents have both lived to at least 10 years of age and are not Z factored.  If the grandparents and parents have all lived to 10+, you can apply for a Bred For Longevity-2 Certification, if the dogs are not Z factored.

Please read carefully and review for errors prior to submission. This form is to be filled in online and submitted directly from this page.  Please make sure all information is correct before you click 'submit'.  Please provide a complete address so the certificate can be mailed to you.

Program History

The Longevity Program was approved unanimously at the 1997 DPCA National in Houston, TX.  It was started by Vic Monteleon to identify dogs and lines strong in longevity.  Recognizing and tracking long lived Dobermans helps breeders establish longevity as a breeding goal.
