Each member
who contemplates breeding a litter, or
who allows the use of his stud dog to the same end, shall direct his efforts
toward producing Pembrokes
of excellent quality.
Only dogs of characteristic type and of sound structure and temperament shall
be offered at stud Likewise, owners of stud dogs shall not accept for breeding
any bitch the reproduction of which is likely to be detrimental to the breed.
If a dog or bitch has produced any offspring with serious inherited defects
detrimental to the animal’s well-being such as blindness, deafness, lameness
or impairment of vital functions, and produces like results with a different
mating partner, the owner shall refrain from further use of this animal for
breeding.
No bitch shall be bred more than two out of three heat seasons, then only
if she is in robust health and never at the time of her first season. Breeding
bitches over 7 years of age is generally to be discouraged.
Members should not undertake the breeding of a bitch unless they are prepared
to keep the resultant puppies until each is suitably placed even if it takes
longer than anticipated. Members offering a dog at stud should have similar
assurances from owners of outside bitches.
Members will not engage in excessive breeding of Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
No member of this club shall engage in the wholesaling of litters of dogs
or the selling of breeding stock or individuals to such places as pet dealers,
catalog houses or other commercial sources of distribution nor shall any dogs
be supplied for a raffle, lottery, or auction.
The price of puppies, adults, and stud service shall be based on individual
quality. All puppies and adults shall be maintained and/or sold in a clean
and healthy condition and shall be at least 8 weeks of age before going to
a new home. No puppy or dog will be sold without appropriate vaccinations.
A puppy or adult unsuitable for breeding shall be sold on a limited AKC registration.
The dog is to be neutered. This should be clearly understood by the buyer,
and the breeder shall have a signed statement to that effect. All other puppies
or adults shall be registered or eligible for registration with the AKC and
the purchaser shall be provided with accurate and valid papers.
