NEW ~ Introducing the PBGVCA Breeders’ Tool Chest

Created to encourage new breeders by breeders.

This big project has received input from many of our breeders; thank you! There are 3 major categories:

  • The Basics: links to our breed standard, pedigree-health database, Breeder's Code of Best Practices, puppy and stud dog service directories, etc.
  • Being a Responsible Dog Breeder: The lion’s share of information lives here and new information will be added over time. It includes selecting breeding stock, health testing, AKC/International Registries, educational videos, getting the bitch pregnant right on through to puppy packets (new version coming soon) and sample new puppy owner contracts, assessing new puppy buyers, etc. documents.
  • Breeder’s Community: Lists our mentors who will help members interested in breeding, breeder/health articles, call to join PBGVCA and a place where breeders can share their own experiences.

There is no substitute for the extensive experience available from our breeder community.
