Natural Rearing Breeders CODE OF ETHICS
The NRBA code of Ethics is established in accordance with the objectives of the Natural Rearing Breeders Association (NRBA). It is presented as a guideline for the use of NRBA members when buying, breeding, selling and exhibiting their dogs. Violators of the NRBA Code of Ethics will be subject to prompt action under the NRBA discipline and charge procedures.

As a member of the Natural Rearing Breeder Association, I state that:

I breed my dogs with care and attention for the preservation and improvement of my chosen breed.

I test my breeding program in an objective venue such as conformation showing, work, tests and trials, etc.

I research health, temperament, and conformation for each litter I breed.

I ensure that my dogs that are offered for stud and the bitches that are accepted for stud service are in good health and free from communicable diseases and sound structurally.

I rear the puppies in a human home where they will get a maximum of human contact.

I health test all my breeding dogs for the diseases and/or health problems prevalent in my breed and provide copies of all appropriate health and genetic clearances to puppy buyers.

I provide health and temperament information on my breed in general as well as on my specific dogs or puppies to all prospective puppy buyers.

I register my litters with the American Kennel Club, Canadian Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, or other all breed or breed-specific registries that have similar standards.

I provide all required documentation with each puppy, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the registry.

I personally and carefully screen each prospective puppy buyer to ensure that the home is appropriate for the breed and the individual dog and make every effort to place puppies in homes where they will continue to rear them “Naturally”.

I remain available to my puppy buyers for the life of the puppy to mentor if need be and provide education in natural rearing.

I take back puppies at any time during their life, ensuring that each dog I breed has a home for its lifetime.

All puppy placements are done by me, the breeder, never by third parties such as brokers, dealers, or wholesalers, nor through auctions, or as prizes.

I will sell no puppy or dogs to a commercial facility, puppy broker, pet shop, puppy mill or their agent. I refuse to sell any puppy or adult dog to a buyer who cannot or will not provide evidence of ability to properly care for the animal.

I hold myself responsible for the welfare of every dog I breed and/or sell.

I will conduct myself at all times in such a manner as to reflect credit on the sport of purebred dog showing and Natural Rearing of my specific breed.

I am a member in good standing of a breed-related, show-related, canine education-related, working dog-related, or rescue-related club or organization.

I am committed to feeding/rearing my dogs on Raw meat and bone diet (BARF, SARF) and do not feed processed kibble or canned foods. I minimally vaccinate or do not vaccinate at all (except where required by state laws).

I do not use chemical products in, on or around my dogs such as commercial flea preventions, floor cleaners, lawn pesticides, etc.

I have provided three references (with phone numbers and/or mailing address included below or on a separate piece of paper) as requested by the Natural Rearing Breeders Association
