Australian Cobberdogs by Britannia UK
The Australian Cobberdog is a breed in the making Breeders unite over the globe to assure the future of this wonderful breed – It is NOT a Labradoodle
1 | At all times I will have my primary focus on what is best for the dogs I own and breed and aim for the best outcomes for the future of that breed(s). I will ensure the quality of life for my dogs, and future generations by a planned process of selection over successive generations. |
2 | I will register all pups within 6 months of their date of birth (as of 21/2/2013). I will supply the buyer with a copy or the original of the dog’s registered pedigree. If I am breeding a breed in the MDBA Foundation Registry I will register all pups with the MDBA within 6 months from date of birth. |
3 | No bitch shall be mated without due consideration as to the well being of the bitch and her offspring. |
4 | I shall never allow any puppy to leave my premises to go to a new home before the age of 8 weeks. No puppy shall be sold without having had its first vaccination and regular-worming treatments and I will provide documented evidence of such to the purchaser. |
5 | I will always supply to purchasers relevant breed information that can include a diet sheet, a full and accurate puppy care sheet, health care information, parasite control, microchip information, and any other information that will be helpful to the purchaser. |
6 | I will keep breeding and health records for all dogs in my care. |
7 | I will provide a written health guarantee for every pup I breed and sell. I will provide on going support and advice where possible for the life of the pup. |
8 | I will never knowingly sell any puppy/adult dog to laboratories, pet shops or dealers in dogs or to person’s known to sell stock to any of the above. |
9 | I will screen prospective buyers for suitability and shall fully advise them of the characteristics of the dog as a breed stressing the necessity for care, grooming and ample exercise |
10 | I will never knowingly allow a puppy or adult which has any apparent physical defects to be sold without the buyer being made aware of such defects and its possible consequences. |
11 | I will only sell puppies and adults, which, to the best of my knowledge and belief are in good health at the time of sale. |
12 | I will comply with all relevant legal requirements when breeding dogs or selling a puppy. |
13 | I will impress on the buyer that they should contact me immediately in the event of any problem arising with the puppy or adult and I will make every effort where possible and practicable to be of assistance in these circumstances. In the case of a dog needing to be re-homed I will assist as much as possible in achieving this end and will accept the return of that dog at any age if this is possible and practicable. |
14 | My advertising will be strictly factual. I will not promote my dogs as something they are not. |
15 | I shall refrain from making negative or malicious statements about other breeder’s, their dogs or practices. |
16 | I will be co-operative in any measures aimed at eradicating hereditary diseases or genetic defects known or suspected in my breed. |
17 | I will be honest and forthright in notifying any genetic or heritable diseases found to be in any dogs I have bred or own and pass on any information required to help breeders make informed choices in their breeding program. |
18 | I shall not breed a litter unless I have the time and facilities to devote proper care and attention to the rearing of the puppies and to the well being of the dam. |
19 | Any dog/puppy in my care shall receive immediate professional attention should it become ill. |
20 | I will allow representatives of the MDBA to inspect my property or my dogs if requested. |
21 | All dogs in my care will be adequately housed in clean, comfortable and weatherproof accommodation with off-lead and exercise time, mental and physical stimulation, companionship and socialisation that meets their breed needs and/or exceeds any local regulations. |
22 | All dogs in my care will be under control at all times, housing and exercise areas kept clean and all care taken to limit possible disturbance to neighbours. |
23 | I will lead by example and advocate responsible dog ownership. |
24 | I will exhibit and promote excellence in the discipline and practice of dog breeding. |
25 | I will do nothing which will bring the MDBA into disrepute. |
