GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Our Goals…



Our goal is to pursue recognition with other reputable breed clubs and organizations in North America. Showing our dogs in many different venues, including conformation, obedience, and agility, we have promoted our breed with integrity. Breeding only Biewer to Biewer, we have carefully selected our best dogs, trying to eliminate any possible health problems as the breed continues to develop. As FSS evaluates the breed for AKC acceptance, we will continue to advocate for their future, protecting their original German heritage and breed standard. Looking forward, we will continue to seek new ways to advance our beautiful breed and support our Biewer club.



Our Objectives...



1) Assistance and encouragement shall be willingly offered by members to educate novices and others needing advice and guidance.   The welfare of the breed will be in their hands in the future.



2) All dogs will be kept under safe and sanitary conditions, be given maximum health care and protection, including regular inoculations and proper nutrition.



3) Biewer puppies will not be sold or consigned to pet stores, agents, or other commercial enterprises nor sold to disreputable breeders, and neither puppies nor stud services will be offered as prizes or for raffles.



4) Prospective buyers will be screened as thoroughly as possible to determine their intent, as relationship with all Biewer puppies or adults is our desire.



5) All puppies and dogs offered for sale will be sold with written sales agreements to include clear terms and conditions and be signed by the seller and buyer.  The contract will request that the seller be contacted in the event that the owner is unable or unwilling to keep the dog. It will be the obligation of the seller to assist in the placement of the dog in question.



6) Puppies shall be sold to prospective pet owners only after appropriate testing by the breeder per BBCA rules.



7) Stud service will be offered only by German or American registered pure Biewers to healthy German or American registered Biewer bitches of sound temperament. DNA testing will be done on all puppies sold as a breeding prospect to ensure the authenticity of the breed.



8) Dogs and Bitches should be free of serious congenital and hereditary defects.  Stud service will be refused for any mating which is considered to not be in the best interest of the breed.



9) Breeders will provide puppy buyers with written instructions regarding feeding, grooming, general health and care, medical and vaccination records, and follow-up care needed as the puppy develops. The breeder is responsible for giving future advice to buyer as needed.



10) The above document can be amended as progress is made in the development and acceptance of the breed.



11) A breeder/member shall strive to conform to the Biewer Standard to improve progeny, hereditary health problems, and to reduce faults to a minimum.



12) Members shall comply with the rules of the BBCA concerning record keeping, registration, identification, sale, and transfer of dogs. These rules are essential in order to continue down the path of recognition and breed development.



13) Members shall refer potential puppy purchasers to other reputable breeders, who maintain the idea of pure Biewer lines. They shall also be helpful and courteous to those who request information about the breed.



14) All stud dogs and bitches shall be screened prior to breeding for both infectious and hereditary diseases using the generally accepted and available techniques.  DNA testing shall be done on all studs and bitches.



15) A breeder-member selling puppies or offering stud services shall fully disclose to potential clients any serious or disabling hereditary defects, including the reasonable possibility of such defects.
