German Pink Papers – A brief explanation and translation

If a German Shepherd Dog has been given SV pink papers (the official term is “Rasse-Echtheitszertifikat”), it means that the SV (German Shepherd Dog Club of Germany) certifies that at the time of issuance both parents were breed surveyed (angekört). It also means that this particular dog was born in Germany. Only and exclusively dogs that meet these criteria can receive German pink papers.
