I checked on this for you and here is what Dr. Bell was given. Dr. Bell was given every name of every dog listed on pedigrees within the BBIR Registry.
These names were given in a
blind analysis (he was only given dogs names. He took that information and compiled it himself) of the pedigree database, and analysis of influential dogs and bitches. It was those results that he used in the seminar to discuss various things like genetic diversity of the breed and controlling genetic diseases with a breed.
If you google Jerold Bell and pedigree analysis you will see a ton of hits. His degree is from Cornell and he specializes in genetics.
Here's the link for the DVD if you are interested in buying it.
