| Biewer Breed Club Of America Inc. Breed Order |
| Breed Pairs: All dogs should be bred for quality, with breeder giving equal consideration to type, temperament, health and soundness. Nervous or aggressive dogs, or those with a known genetic defect, should not be used for breeding. Acceptable breedings will be Biewer to Biewer only. Those bred should be healthy, pedigreed Biewer's as described by the adopted BBCA standard. http://www. biewerbca.org/Standard.html No Biewer breeder shall deliberately inter-breed a Biewer with another breed, (i.e., Maltese with a Biewer). If an accidental breeding occurs, the resulting puppies must be spayed/neutered and placed in pet homes. No dogs or bitches should be bred to pet store stock. Bitches and Studs should be screened prior to breeding for infectious and hereditary diseases by a qualified veterinarian. BBCA requires our breeding pairs to have a Bile Acid Test as well as DNA testing with MMI Genomics Lab http://www.mmigenomics.com/index.html We recommend our breeding pairs to have a liver/kidney blood panel, Patella test, Brucellosis test, and CERF testing. Breeding Duration: Bitches Bitches should not be bred before 12 months of age, or until her second estrous cycle. Bitches should not be bred after the age of 8 years. Number of Litters: Bitches are not to be bred back to back more than three (3) times, producing no more than two (2) litters in twelve (12) month span. Breeders are most in tune with their bitches and they know what is best for them and their health. Stud Dog The Stud Dog should be used selectively. He should not be bred to unregistered bitches. He should be least twelve (12) months of age. It is recommended that written contracts clearly state all arrangements agreed to by the breeder/client and signed by both with a copy for each individual, and also include any necessary testing. No age limit is planned for the stud providing he is healthy. If the stud dog is over 10 yrs old he will need a vet certification of health and a semen evaluation. Litters: Puppies must be kept until at least 12 weeks of age. The breeder is obligated to have the puppies properly inoculated, de-wormed and fecal tested. Pups will be either random Bile Acid tested. liver enzyme tested or Protein C tested, prior to leaving the breeder for new owners. The decision regarding which test will remain with the Breeder and their vet. If a pup has elevated numbers on a random bile acid test or liver enzyme test then a full liver panel and pre & post bile acid is required. Tail docking is not permitted. Dew claws may or may not be removed at the owner’s discretion. Shipment of puppies shall not occur before 12 weeks to avoid episodes of potentially fatal hypoglycemia. Identification: Permanent identification (Micro-chip or tattoo) is not mandatory, but left to the breeder’s discretion. DNA identification is mandatory on all breeding pairs and optional for puppies and spayed or neutered pets. Health Screening: Breeders will provide full disclosure of any and all genetic abnormalities in the bloodlines and progeny, including appropriate pedigrees, in order to facilitate research in avoiding the passage of these defects. Breeders will agree to advise the President of the BBCA if they produce a puppy with liver shunt or any other life threatening congenital disease. They agree to provide the pedigrees of the mother and father. The breeder further agrees to NEVER breed the same sire and dam together again. The siblings of the affected puppies should be neutered or spayed and sold as pets. If siblings were sold prior to breeder knowledge of the shunt, every effort should be made to encourage the new owner NOT to breed these puppies. |

| BBCA is pleased to announce that it has petitioned CERF to include the Biewer in its registry database. CERF agreed to our request and will now issue certificates to Biewers who pass their eye exams. Biewer owner/breeders are urged to include this testing in their programs to ensure their dog's are certified free of heritable eye disease before breeding. This is one more crucial step to protect our beautiful breed. Certificates are good for a period of one year. Eye exams are done annually by board certified Canine Ophthalmologists. Many dog show venues, including AKC sanctioned shows, offer clinics for the eye exams. Check with your local kennel clubs to see if they have schedules listed for clinics in your area.
