with grooming, training, breeding, and general care.

7. I will refuse stud service to any unregistered bitch, to any bitch I consider in poor health, of unsound temperament, or
having physical limiting hereditary faults.
8. In cases where a dog’s or puppy’s health or confirmation are unknown to be such as to indicate that breeding of that
