2. All breeders shall keep accurate and complete personal records of breeding's, litters, pedigrees and puppy/dog owners' names as required by the American Kennel Club.
3. All puppies leaving their breeder's possession shall be a minimum of seven (7) weeks of age, except in those breeds where twelve (12) weeks of age is generally accepted.

5. Breeders shall provide the puppy buyer with written details of feeding, general care, dates and types of inoculations, worming's and general medical records, grooming instructions, etc. and be readily available for information and advice in the future as needed.
6. Breeders will not knowingly sell or consign puppies or adult dogs to pet stores, puppy brokers, or other commercial dealers.
7. All puppies will be sold with written contracts appropriate for conformation/breeding quality or pet quality specifications (limited registration), guarantees and restrictions.

Puppy purchasers should be urged to spay or neuter all pet quality puppies.

10. Prospective buyers should be screened as thoroughly as possible to determine their desire and ultimate intent for each puppy and/ or dog, and also for their interest and ability to provide a safe, adequate and loving home for each puppy and/or dog acquired.
11. Breeders will not dispose of any puppy or adult dog bred or owned by them in animal shelters or animal pounds.
