Muskingum River Estates Professional Dog Breeder - Philosphy 


To promote the highest ideals among dog owners and breeders and aim for the continuous improvement of the breed within the framework of the approved breed standard, I pledge that: 

  1. I will follow the rules of good sportsmanship which will be a credit to the breed, the club and myself in all dog competition and activities. 
  2. I will fully explain to all prospective dog purchasers the advantages as well as the disadvantages of owning the breed.
  3. I will attempt to help and educate novice exhibitors and owners.
  4. I will keep well informed in the field of genetics and work to eliminate hereditary defects from the breed.
  5. I will, before entering a breeding agreement or doing any breeding of my own dogs, carefully analyze the conformation and pedigrees of the prospective sire and dam. I shall refuse the mating if, in my opinion, it will not be in the best interest of the breed. If I deny stud service, I will fully explain my reasons to the owner of the adult breeding female.
  6. I will participate in a program of having my breeding dogs examined by qualified and licensed veterinarians to eliminate common genetic defects from my bloodlines. 
  7. When a dog has hereditary faults of such nature as to make his or her use for breeding detrimental to the furtherance of the breed, that dog shall not be bred.
  8. I will refuse to sell my dogs or puppies to anyone who has been convicted of cruelty to animals.
  9. I shall provide my breeding adults and puppies with the very best veterinary care.
  10. I shall administer the optimum feeding program utilizing premium dog foods recommended by my veterinarian.
  11. I shall administer the daily socialization and exercise program as developed by my veterinarian for my adult dogs and puppies.
  12. I shall continue to show my breeding dogs in ACA sanctioned dog shows.
