3:0 Breeders rules, SKK (Swedish Kennel Club)

Breeder is in his breeding work observe good breeding policy and breed in good faith and not use bitch at too low or too high age, at the earliest at the age recommended by their special club, but never earlier than the second heat. Breeder shall not make an effort in the breeding bitch with too many, too frequent or too large litters, which means:

3:1 that a bitch may not give birth to more than 5 litters

3:2 that bitch over the age of 7 years must always be at least 10 months' rest between the litters. *3:4.

3:3 that bitch that within 10 months had two litters must rest at least 13 months prior to the next litter.

3:4 that the bitch from the age of 7 years, veterinary certificate, which shows that the bitch is in such condition that no barrier to pregnancy exists, could be produced. The certificate must be issued before mating.

CsV and Saarloos can not neiter be used in breeding before MH-deskription. and you need to make DNA test to prove the parents of the puppies to get the pedigree. ( male need no MH or DNA test if he do not live in Sweden.

I WONDER WHICH RULES ALL COUNTRY´S HAVE ???

And now I´m especially interested in the rules in Italy !!! ???

That's not completely true Mikael.. You are forgetting that we also have to follow the rules of The Swedish Board of Agriculture here and according to them you are not allowed to mate a bitch until the second heat yes BUT.... She also have to be at least 18 months old. (no special club can change that)

And when it comes to the Code of ethics for members of the Swedish kennel club it says;

It is incumbent upon every member of the SKK organisation:

3:4

to not allow bitches to give birth to more than five litters. If a bitch has two litters within 12 months it must then be given at least a 12 months rest before the next whelping.

10 and 13 months must be old numbers??

PS: And why do you use google to translate? The Code of ethics for members of the Swedish kennel club is available in English at SKK's website... :P

Hi. I have one question to somebody from german club. Is there any age limit for females? I thought, the females in Germany must be older 18 months for first mateing. And now I look at one kennel, where pups was born in 19 months of mother (if all datas in her database was right). If yes- how is it possible, WDH give pedigree to pups which mother is NOT breeding female yet????
Can somebody explain me it? Thanks Hanka

Thanks for the new numbers yep, they might have bean old

Yes, SKK has only roles, Agriculture is Swedish law...

But is say "at the earliest at the age recommended by their special club" and the club can say "earliest at the age of 24 month if they want to" but of course they will need permission from SKK to do so

And if a breeder brakes that 24 month role, they do not brake Swedish law, but only a breed club and SKK role, punishment can maximum be `No pedigree for the puppies`

If I understand it all right ?

But, yes it are to say like this...

`at the earliest at the age recommended by their special club, but never earlier than the second heat or 18 month `

We can write to SKK and ask them about it

Very best regards / Mikael
