I shall at all times ensure all dogs under my control are appropriately
cared for in regards to shelter, food, water, exercise, and veterinary care.

I have never had my membership to any animal club or association
revoked or suspended, or if so, I have disclosed this information to
the GANA board for consideration for membership.

I will register/license my dogs with all state and local required
organizations.  If a kennel license is required, I will not operate a
breeding program without obtaining one.

 I will treat my fellow breeders with respect at all times.

I shall always breed with the soundness or betterment of the 
Goldendoodle in mind.  I will not breed any dog/bitch that has
not been tested  or has failed any of the requirements listed in
the "Required Health Tests".

 I will not sell/trade any of my dogs or puppies to any commercial
animal wholesaler or retail pet dealers/traders.

 I will not sell/trade/release a puppy under the age of 7 weeks
or before the minimum age requirement for my state.

 I will give/sell/trade all puppies with a written spay/neuter
requirement or I will have the puppies desexed before leaving
me unless puppies are sold with breeding rights.

 I will have all puppies examined by my vet prior to placement
as pets or breeders and will provide proof of this exam to the
new owner upon their request. 

 I will educate new puppy owners to the best of my ability as
to the proper care and welfare of the puppy.

 I will offer email and phone support to new puppy owners before
 and after the puppy leaves my care.

 I agree to help rehome any dog that originated from my breeding
stock should the need arise.

 I will provide records of all vaccinations, dewormings, and
veterinary care as well as a GANA Puppy Registration Certificate
with each puppy that leaves my care. 

 I will not guarantee hypo-allergenic qualities or non-shedding
coats to any customer.

I will keep written records of my breeding stocks’ offspring and
document any noticed or reported genetic defects.  I will not pair
those that show repeated defects of an inhibiting nature in their offspring. 

I will provide a warranty for life inhibiting genetic defects until
at least 2 years of age. I understand that each breeder’s warranty
will vary somewhat, but I will not require a puppy/dog to be
returned for a warranty to be exercised. The required use of any
supplements or specific brand of food is not allowed. Exercise
limitations can be requested, but not required. It is at my discretion
 as to whether to offer monetary assistance or to replace the puppy
with a like puppy. The minimum monetary assistance is 50% of the
purchase price of the puppy not including shipping fees. A copy of
your waranty and/or Bill of Sale must be posted on your website at all times.

I will not breed any dog/bitch to a related dog/bitch within 3 generations.

I will select breeding pairs with the specific goal of producing
the best health, conformation, temperament, and coats.

I will make certain that any buyer given breeding rights with a puppy 
understands and follows ethical breeding practices

I will not surrender a pet or breeding dog to any rescue, animal control,
 or shelter.  I will find an appropriate pet home.

I will keep my dogs up to date on necessary vaccines for my area. 
I will vaccinate all puppies between 6-8 weeks of age.  I will deworm
all puppies a minimum of two times prior to 8 weeks of age. 

I agree that I either own the breeding rights or have contracted the
use of the breeding rights for all dogs used in my breeding program.
