Statement from the Belgian Shepherd Dog Inter Variety Breeding Commission
The Inter Variety Breeding Commission is once again working effectively. Future applicants must comply with the original criteria that were put in place with the agreement of the Belgian Shepherd Dog Association of Great Britain, the Northern Belgian Shepherd Dog Club and the Working Belgian Shepherd Dog Society, when the Commission first commenced working with the Kennel Club on this matter.
The following information must be included: -
A letter from the breeder stating the reasons for wishing to carry out the mating.
Copies of health test results for hips and eyes for both parents.
Copies of pedigrees for both parents.
A list of either show or working awards for both parents or previous offspring.
Breeders are advised to apply to the Commission well in advance of the planned mating in order to allow time for permission to be sought and obtained from the Kennel Club prior to the mating. Please send all information in a document that can easily be forwarded to Commission members. Lynda McNamara is now the secretary and applications, preferably as a portable document format (pdf) file, should be sent to her at lynda.mcnamara@hotmail.co.uk
Please note that KC registration names of puppies from any approved mating will be distinguished by the addition of three asterisks for the first generation, the next generation will have two asterisks and the third generation one.
