Rules for puppy placement, stud list and kennel listing

Pup placement:

Please find the updated regulations below:

  • both parents have a DNA certificate for ichthyosis
  • both parents have an official HD certificate
  • both parents have an official ED certificate
  • both parents have an official eye certificate that is not older than 1 year at the time of mating
  • the breeder has been an uninterrupted member of the GRCB for at least 1 year
  • the mother of the litter participated in at least 1 GRCB activity: either Young Dog and Veteran's Day or Clubmatch or Working Test. On the show part, at least a 'very good' should be obtained. On the working part, one must have passed the working test.
  • There will only be mediation for puppies that get an official FCI pedigree

If the broadcard is updated we will re-evaluate our current requirements.

Puppy mediation can be requested through the GRCB website using the online form.

Stud list:

Due to the adjustment for pup mediation, we are also adjusting our requirements to be published on the stud list:

  • the dog has a DNA certificate for ichthyosis
  • the dog has an official HD certificate
  • the dog has an official ED certificate
  • the dog has an official eye certificate
  • the dog only covers bitches with an FCI pedigree
  • the owner has been a member of the GRCB continuously for at least 1 year
  • the dog has participated in at least 1 GRCB activity: either Young Dog and Veteran's Day or Club Match or Working Test. On the show part, at least a 'very good' should be obtained. On the working part, you must have passed the working test.

If your male dog has not yet participated in a club activity, the GRCB provides a transition year in which you have time to put this in order.


It goes without saying that additional health tests or qualifications achieved can be listed on their page, along with a stunning photo.
Remember to forward the renewed ECVO certificate annually to the person in charge of the breeding committee.

New stud dogs can be registered via the online form on the GRCB website and subject to a one-off payment of 25 euros to our account number.

Kennel listing:

Enquiries revealed that it is not always clear what is expected of breeders who have a kennel listing on the GRCB website.
After meeting, the GRCB board came to the following consensus:

  • The breeder is at least 1 year uninterrupted member of the GRCB.
  • The breeder only breed puppies that receive an FCI pedigree
  • The breeder only breed with parent dogs that have been tested for hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia (official certificates of this are available). 
  • Both parents have an official eye certificate that is not older than 1 year at the time of mating.
  • Both parents have an ichthyosis certificate (by DNA or result of parent animals).
  • An annual contribution of 50 euros is paid.
  • The breeder makes efforts to encourage his puppy buyers to join the GRCB.

If it appears that a breeder (repeatedly) does not comply with these agreements, his/her kennel listing may be removed from the GRCB website.
