One of GANA™’s goals is to mentor new breeders to ensure they learn and use the best practices to produce healthy, sound puppies. GANA™ offers an entry level membership to those interested in learning how to select appropriate breeding stock, testing their puppies/dogs to meet GANA™’s health testing requirements (https://www.goldendoodleassociation.com/about-gana/health-testing-requirements/), providing discount codes to labs that perform this testing, and access to two private Facebook groups (discussion group and an educational library). The apprentice membership fee is $100 a year. This level of membership reverts to a breeder membership once the first breeding of the first breeding dog takes place. A breeder membership requires a website and a minimum of a two year genetic defect warranty. See the benefits of becoming a GANA™ member breeder here. When completing the application to join as an apprentice, please fill in your kennel name and website address with the word “Apprentice”.
