Article 2: Breeding
A breeder should plan each breeding with the paramount intention of improving the breed.
A breeder should select a stud and matron with an eye to conformation, temperament and working ability with careful study of the MASCA Breed Standard, pedigrees and basic principles of genetics.
A breeder shall refrain from breeding any dog or bitch under the age of twelve (12) months. Offspring of any dog and/or any bitch under the age of twelve (12) months but over the age of nine (9) months shall be eligible for Provisional Registration only. Offspring of any dog and/or any bitch under the age of nine (9) months shall not be eligible for MASCA registration. Two (2) years is the preferred minimum age for breeding any dog or bitch.
Before entering into any breeding agreement, a breeder must scrutinize the pedigree, conformation and working potentials of both sire and dam, keeping in mind the ideal Miniature Australian Shepherd, as described in the MASCA Breed Standard.
A breeder should refuse any breeding if, in his/her opinion it is not in the best interest of the breed. Should he/she refuse the breeding, an explanation of his/her reasoning should be given to the owner of the bitch. A breeder should use for breeding purposes only those individuals that are free from defects such as monorchidism, cryptorchidism, deafness, hereditary eye or hip defects and other disqualifying defects. A breeder must further refrain from breeding any individual dog, who although free from defects, consistently produces afflicted puppies.
