The Healthy Stars Program was started in 1998 by the DDBS to encourage breeders to health screen their breeding dogs prior to being bred. The Stars is a way to reward the owners by recognition. The Program has grown in leaps and bounds. It is for the future of the breed.

**NOTICE**
This page is the OFFICIAL listing of valid Stars in the program. Please refer back to this page to verify any claims of Stars. If a Star is listed somewhere that is not listed on this site, please contact Jennifer Roberts at Doguestar98@msn.com for verification.

Not all Dogues de Bordeaux on this list are owned by current DDBSA members.  Only DDBSA members may receive stars on their dogs, but when they are no longer members, their dogs will still retain their Stars.
To indicate who is a current DDBSA member, they will be noted by being a larger and bolder text.
