INTERNATIONAL BREEDING RULES OF THE F.C.I.
PREAMBLE
1. The International Breeding Regulations of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale
(FCI) are binding on all member countries and contract partners.
· These FCI breeding regulations apply directly to all FCI member countries as well as
the contract partners. This means that breeding may only be carried out with
pedigree dogs which have a sound temperament, are healthy in functional and
hereditary terms and are registered with a studbook or register (appendix)
recognised by the FCI. In addition, they have to fulfil the requirements specified by
the relevant FCI member or contract partners.
· The only dogs which are considered to be healthy in hereditary terms are those
transferring breed standard features, breed type and temperament typical of that
breed without displaying any substantial hereditary defects which could impair the
functional health of its descendants. The members and contract partners of the FCI
are required in this regard to prevent any exaggeration of breed features in the
standards which could result in impairment of the dogs' functional health.
· Dogs with eliminating faults such as e.g. unsound temperament, congenital deafness
or blindness, hare-lip, cleft palate, substantial dental defects or jaw anomalies, PRA,
epilepsy, cryptorchidism, monorchidism, albinism, improper coat colours or
diagnosed severe hip dysplasia may not be bred.
· With regard to surfacing hereditary defects, e.g. HD or PRA, the FCI member
countries and contract partners are obliged to record affected animals, combat these
defects in a methodical manner, continuously record their development and report
to the FCI on this matter when requested. If a DNA test is performed, the
identification (chip or tattoo) of the dog must be checked and certified by the
veterinarian who collects the sample as is the case with any health protocol; the test
result certificate from the laboratory must include the dog’s identification.
· The FCI, its member countries and contract partners are supported by the Scientific
Commission in relation to evaluation, assistance and advice in combating hereditary
defects. In case the Scientific Commission would issue a catalogue of measures, the
same shall be binding on being adopted by the FCI General Committee.
· Competence and responsibility for breeding rests with the member countries and
contract partners of the FCI and includes breeding guidance, breeding advice
and
monitoring breeding as well as the keeping of the studbook.
Мельникова Анна:
· The FCI member countries and contract partners are under the obligation to draw up
their own breeding regulations based on the FCI Breeding Regulations, in which the
breeding objectives are laid down. Such regulations must take appropriate and
reasonable account of the specific working characteristics of the respective breeds.
Dog traders and puppy farmers are considered to be people who focus on buying and
selling dogs in order to get economic profit without taking appropriate care of the dog’s
individual welfare. Dog traders and puppy farmers are not permitted to undertake
breeding under the patronage (responsibility) of a member or contract partner of the
FCI.
2. The reciprocal rights and obligations of bitch and stud dog owners are principally
governed by national laws, regulations established by the national Kennel Clubs, their
breed clubs or associations and private agreements. In the event that such regulations
and agreements do not exist, the FCI International Breeding Rules will prevail.
· Breeders and owners of stud dogs are strongly urged to negotiate a written contract
before each breeding wherein the financial obligations of both parties are clearly
defined.
· The "owner" of a dog is the person who has legally obtained the animal, who is in
possession of the dog and who can prove it through the legal possession of a valid official
registration and pedigree.
· The "agent of the stud dog" is either the owner of the stud dog or the person who has
been authorised by the owner to make this stud dog available for stud service.
TRANSPORTATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS OF THE BITCH
3. It is recommended that the owner of the bitch or a person whom he can rely on takes the
bitch to and from the male. If a bitch is boarded for several days by the agent of the stud
dog, the owner of the bitch will be financially responsible for feeding costs, boarding fees,
if necessary veterinary care and any damage to the residence or kennel of the stud dog
agent as well as return transportation costs.
LIABILITY
4. According to the laws of the different countries, the person boarding and taking care of
an animal is held legally responsible for any damage caused to third parties during that
period.
The owner/agent of the stud dog must take this into consideration when applying for
personal liability insurance coverage.
Мельникова Анна:
DEATH OF THE BITCH
5. Should the bitch die while in the custody of the stud dog agent, the latter will undertake
to have the death and the cause of it certified by a veterinary surgeon. He will inform the
owner of the bitch of the death and the cause it as soon as possible.
Should the owner of the bitch wish to see the dead bitch, the stud dog agent may not
deny this request.
Should the death appear to have been caused by negligence of the stud dog agent, the
latter is liable to compensate the owner of the bitch for the loss.
Should it be determined that the stud dog agent was in no way responsible for the death
of the bitch, the owner of the bitch is required to reimburse the stud dog agent for all
expenses incurred as a result of the death.
SELECTION OF THE STUD DOG
6. The stud dog agent is obliged to mate the bitch only with the dog referred to in the
contract. Should this stud dog be unable to mate, no other dog may be substituted
without the prior consent of the owner of the bitch.
ACCIDENTAL BREEDING
7. In the event that the bitch is unintentionally mated by a dog different from the one
agreed upon, the stud dog agent who has the bitch under his custody must notify and
reimburse the bitch's owner for all the expenses resulting from this accidental breeding.
In case of accidental breeding, it is forbidden to carry out another mating with the stud
dog originally foreseen.
In such cases, the stud dog agent cannot charge any stud fee.
STUD SERVICE CERTIFICATION
8. The stud dog agent will declare, in writing, on a stud service certificate, that the mating
took place with the agreed stud dog. By his signature, he certifies that he was an eyewitness
of this mating.
If the organisation which keeps the stud book with which the litter is to be registered
requires the use of particular documents, it is up to the owner of the bitch to get them,
fill them in correctly and request the stud dog agent’s signature.
It is compulsory that this stud service certificate contains the following information:
a) Name and stud book registration number of the stud dog.
b) Name and stud book registration number of the bitch.
c) Name and address of the agent/owner of the stud dog.
d) Name and address of the owner of the bitch at the time of the mating and, possibly
the date when the bitch was bought.
e) Place and date of the mating
f) Signature of the agent of the stud dog and of the owner of the bitch
g) If the organisation which keeps the stud book with which the litter is to be registered
requires a certified photocopy or excerpt of the pedigree of the stud dog, it is up to
the stud dog agent to give these documents, free free of charge, to the owner of the bitch.
Мельникова Анна:
PAYMENT OF STUD FEE
9. The owner of the stud dog may refuse to sign the stud service certificate before the stud
fee which was agreed has been paid. He is not permitted, however, to hold back the
bitch as security.
10. If the agreed stud dog does not perform the mating for whatever reason or if the bitch
does not want to be mated, whereby no mating can take place, the owner of the stud
dog is entitled to the payment of the fees as described at article 2. However he may not
claim payment of the stud fee.
11. Apart from the stud fee which was agreed, the owner of the stud dog has no further
rights concerning the litter towards the owner of the bitch. Specifically, he has no right
to get a puppy from the litter.
However, if there is a mutual agreement that the stud fee will be a puppy, it must be
made in writing prior to the mating. The written agreement must include the following
provisions which have to be observed:
a. the date when the owner of the stud dog may choose the puppy.
b. the date when the owner of the stud dog will actually get the puppy which was
chosen
c. the date by which the owner of the stud dog must choose a puppy (after which date
his rights to choose the puppy will expire)
d. the date by which the owner of the stud dog must come to take the puppy (after
which date his rights to obtain a puppy expire)
e. an agreement concerning the transportation costs.
f. special provisions in the event of a stillborn litter, a single living puppy or in case the
selected puppy dies before the owner of the stud dog gets it.
Мельникова Анна:
THE BITCH REMAINS BARREN
12. After a mating has been correctly performed, the stud dog is considered to have fulfilled
its duty and the stud dog owner is therefore entitled to the agreed stud fee. This does
not necessarily imply that the bitch will be pregnant. If the bitch remains barren, it is up
to the stud dog owner either to offer a free stud service at the next oestrus cycle or to
refund a percentage of the stud fee. Such an agreement must be made in writing and
included in the breeding contract before the mating takes place.
The time limit for a free mating expires at the death or transfer of ownership of the stud
dog or at the death of the bitch.
In case it can be proved (by a sperm analysis) that the stud dog was infertile at the time
of the mating, the owner of the bitch has to be reimbursed the stud fee.
