Content Summary : 1. I have read and am familiar with the AKC Breed Standard for the Portuguese Water Dog and will do my best to breed dogs which fit that description. 2. I will maintain my dogs in an environment conducive to fostering their proper physical and mental health and well being. 3. I will deal honestly with inquirers and help educate them about the Portuguese Water Dog. 4. I will provide prospective owners, prior to a transfer or sale, copies of all health test results on the sire and dam of puppies or dogs I have for sale or placement. This health information will include, where available, the OFA, GM 1, OptiGen (PRA) and CERF ratings. If one or both of the parent dogs do not have certain of these ratings, the prospective owners will be so advised. If either parent is known to be affected with a health problem, or is known to have produced a health problem, including but not limited to Addison's Disease, Hair Loss or PRA, or is an obligate carrier of Cardiomyopathy or PRA, the prospective owners will be advised. 5. I will deal honestly with the owner of a stud dog servicing my brood bitch or the owner of a brood bitch being serviced by my stud dog and will provide all health information as stated in Paragraph 4 of this Code. I will encourage owners of stud dogs I use or brood bitches who use my stud dog to participate in the PWD Health and Litter Database. 6. I will provide a written contract or agreement for the sale or placement of each puppy/dog and will include copies of all pertinent health information with said contract or agreement. This is for my own protection as well as the puppy/dog involved and the new owners.
