Introduction

We are excited to introduce our breed club's new breeder referral policy, contract, and educational resources on our website. Breeders interested in being listed will need to apply and adhere to the contract as well as our club's code of ethics.

Importance of the Breeder Referral Policy

1. Promotes Ethical Breeding: The policy ensures that all breeders adhere to a strict code of ethics, promoting responsible breeding practices and the welfare of the breed.

2. Enhances Credibility: By requiring breeders to apply and comply with the contract, the club establishes a trustworthy network of breeders, which enhances the club's reputation.

3. Educates Breeders and Buyers: The inclusion of educational resources helps both breeders and potential buyers make informed decisions, fostering a better understanding of breed standards and care.

4. Supports Responsible Ownership: The policy encourages responsible ownership by connecting prospective dog owners with ethical breeders, reducing the risk of puppy mills and irresponsible breeding.

5. Strengthens Community: It fosters a sense of community among breeders and dog owners who share a commitment to the breed's health and well-being.

6. Facilitates Accountability: The contract and application process hold breeders accountable for their practices, ensuring they maintain high standards.
