I am not a broker, dealer or wholesaler. I will not offer puppies for sale that I have acquired from others. I will not sell puppies to pet shops, puppy mills, disreputable (so-called) breeders or other retailers.
 

I will provide information on the characteristics and properties of the breed to interested individuals.
 

I will maintain a safe & clean facility for all sires, bitches, rescues/re-homes and puppies.
 

I will breed only for the purpose of trying to improve the quality of the breed. I will conscientiously plan each litter of puppies, selecting a stud dog and female to be mated based on their pedigrees, conformation and temperament.
 

I will be knowledgeable about health problems associated with my breed.

I will not knowingly misrepresent the characteristics of the breed, nor falsely advertise, or mislead any person regarding the performance of any dog or puppy.
 

I will not breed any male or female until they are both physically and mentally mature, and I will not continue to breed any male or female beyond an appropriate age for the breed.
 

I will comply with all AKC rules and Regulations.
 

Puppies will be registered only with the American Kennel Club.
 

I will refrain from releasing any puppy until it is at least seven (7) weeks old..
 

I will show discrimination in the sale of my puppies and be concerned with the type of homes in which they are placed. I will make buyers aware of their responsibilities as dog owners. I will not sell or donate dogs to commercial dog wholesalers, dealers, brokers, retailers, pet shops, puppy mills or any other person or organization, for resale or "give-away" to the public. I will not supply puppies for charity raffles or auctions.
 

I agree to be a resource of knowledge for owners of puppies or rescue/re-home dogs that have been bred in my home.
