Not a lot of people are picking up on the accredited breeders scheme on the Tamaskan Rescue UK website.
This is a new scheme I have introduced to encourage breeding for health and good husbandry.
I wil be adding to this as things crop up, any suggestions or support is welcome.

I have just copied the page you can find at

The Accredited Breeder Scheme was created to promote good breeding practice and, as a breeder, you may wish to consider joining.

There are set requirements that Accredited Breeders must agree to follow, which encourage the breeding of healthy, well-adjusted puppies.

In return, Accredited Breeders have full support and guidance from the us and they may use the scheme literature and logo to promote their kennel. You can guarantee a kennel who is a member of the accredited breeders scheme has excellent husbandry skills and we support them as a breeder of quality and excellence.

The accredited breeders scheme is supported by The Tamaskan Dog Register.

The Scheme currently has the following requirements
