BREED STANDARD

All breeding stock should follow closely the official

Kennel Club Standard in all aspect with particular

attention being paid to temperament of the dogs to meet the characteristic of “displaying affection towards all mankind”. Dogs, which manifestly depart from the breed standard, are not suitable for the purpose of breeding.

 

BREEDING PURPOSES

All breeding should include the objective of improving the overall standard of Greenland Dogs. Equal weight should be given to type, temperament, health and

soundness. Nervous or aggressive dogs are not

satisfactory as pets or breeding stock.

 

REGISTRATION

All dogs used for breeding must be registered with the Kennel Club and full details of there pedigree should be known.

 

PLANNING OF LITTERS

No one should breed a litter unless they have the proper facilities for the dam and litter, and the time to devote proper care and attention to rearing of the puppies and the well being of the dam. There should be some demand for puppies before bitches are mated.

 

BREEDING AGE

Bitches should not be mated before 15 months of age and not before the second season, and no later than her fifth year for the first time.

 

WELFARE OF THE BITCH

No bitch should be mated at every season. Bitches should not have litters on consecutive seasons. No bitch should have more than 4 litters and be bred from beyond her 8th birthday.

 

STUD DOGS

Only entire dogs should be used at stud, but not before 12 months of age. Members who own stud dogs should be aware of the need to improve the breed and enhance the reputation of the sires. They should refuse stud services to inferior specimens of the breed and to owners who have neither the time or facilities to rear litters.

 

PUPPY SALES

Prospective buyers of puppies should be screened for

suitability and ability to provide long term homes. They should be advised of the characteristics and any problems of the breed before purchase. These include the need for grooming, exercise and family contact (stimulation).

 

PUPPY INFORMATION

provided at the time of sale with an accurate pedigree, a Kennel Club transfer form and a registration certificate. The purchaser should also receive a diet sheet and
