1. Members shall maintain the best possible standards of health and environment for their dogs,
not keeping more than they can properly care for.

2. Stud Dogs and Brood Bitches shall be in good health and condition and ideally free from
hereditary defects. Due consideration shall be given to type and temperament before breeding a litter.
Members shall strive to eradicate hereditary defects from the breed.

3. Bitches under the age of 15 months and over the age of 8 years shall not be used for breeding,
and neither shall a bitch be bred from more than twice out of three successive seasons.

4. Every care shall be taken when selling puppies or older dogs, at home or abroad, ensuring
that no stock is sold to laboratories, pet shops or dealers.
Breeders shall also help with the re-homing of a dog sold by them, should this become
necessary.

5. Members are required to maintain and pass onto buyers of stock, accurate records of health,
pedigree and registration documentation, as well as advice on feeding, rearing and general
care of the dog.

6. Members must accept that, like people. Dogs grow old and need special care and attention.
They must therefore be prepared to love and care for the dog for all its life whilst in their
ownership.
