Breeder Obligations

Under the PWDCC Code of Ethics, a member breeder is obligated to take back all dogs they produce should re-homing become necessary.

If they cannot, and the dog comes into PWDCC Rescue, the breeder must be responsible for all costs incurred in assessing and placing the dog in a new family. This includes but does not preclude other expenses: vet bills, boarding, food, medication, toys, bed, crate, collar and leash and any other reasonable expense to maintain the dog. The breeder will not have a right to audit or dispute the bill as tendered. Failure on the part of the breeder to pay this bill within the calendar year of its occurrence will result in a Board hearing and possible expulsion from the club. This expulsion will be published in the Waterlog and on our web site.
