Taz,
Great ground work...
On the point of microchipping, this will be essential for all dogs before any DM, DNA testing etc as otherwise, the results will be meaningless. I know that Laboklin have a lab in the UK - maybe it would be worth approaching them to see if you can negotiate some kind of club discount - after all, once you good people get this show on the road, you will be putting a LOT of work their way I know that I, for one, will be having all future pups both DM screened and DNA profiled prior to them leaving us (one blood sample covers all...), so don't know if you would like to consider this as a possibility too?
Great that you are suggesting minimum and maximum ages for breeding bitches and like the inclusion of the character test, but like Tupacs2legs says - showing is a type of character test in itself. And the BAN on mixing is essential if you hope the KC to take you all seriously (and will open up so many more bloodlines from Europe for you all).
Well done!! I know you and Pixie and Tupacs2legs (and all the others - sorry not to mention you all, but you - and we - know who you are ) have only the breed's interests at heart and will succeed in getting things moving at last.

Thank you for the words of support.
Agree showing is a good test of character and approaching Laboklin is definitely something to consider, great suggestion.
Normally I'd say that no crossbreeding should go without saying however, given the current situation, I think it needs to be highlighted so that no one is in any doubt as to the clubs position on it.
