In order to register a litter of pups with BATWK, you are required to be registered as a breeder and have read through and agreed to the Breeders Charter below:

​

BATWK requests that all Breeders are aware of and acting in accordance with The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018.

 

BATWK also suggests, when possible (unless reasonable explanation is given otherwise), Breeders act in accordance with the following:

​

• All breeding animals will have proven their worth as quality livestock workers, true to the Working Kelpie breed before being bred (unless recorded as non-working on the pedigree).

• Dogs will be 18 months of age by first breeding and in good health.

• Health tests will have been carried out where possible prior to breeding (CA tests for LINGO3 and VMP1 strains; and hip/elbow scores where breeding more than one litter).

• Breeders will stand by their pups and offer to help rehome where possible if circumstances of original buyers change.

• Pups will be provided with the best start possible in terms of housing, nutrition, and care

​​

When you are registered as a breeder, you can use the form to register your litter of pups. We require video footage of both parents working, and expect that parents work stock regularly. This needs to be emailed separately to info@batwk.co.uk

​​

Ideally, parents should be health tested (have had hips x-rayed and their CA status known). We can help organise this if required.
