The Benefits of Membership The benefits of membership of the AAPDB Inc are numerous: Regulation of animal breeding is increasing and being a member of a recognised breeding organisation is soon going to be essential. Already some zoning rules require this before dog breeding facilities are approved. In being part of a professional industry body you will have a say in how your industry is run, including representation at decision making levels. You shape the future for a professional and respected pet dog breeding industry. Membership will identify members as responsible dog breeders and will confer an advantage allowing them to charge appropriately for their pups. Members will be able to market their pups directly or to approved pet stores through the web site Members will receive promotional packs for each puppy they breed including food samples, health care products and information on health and training for new owners. Members will have access to an online recording system which will help them to meet any obligatory statutory regulations (in NSW comprehensive records are obligatory) and also help in management timetables and recording and printing pedigrees. Members will be able to communicate with other breeders in a members only forum where breeding issues can be discussed openly. Members will be able to maintain contact with their owners through the owners data base. Members will have access to a group buying scheme in order to access discount products. Members will have access to breeding stock and to information about health and genetic issues.
