The Functional Dog Collaborative

There is no institution or club providing support for people intentionally breeding mixed-breed dogs. Yet these dogs are serving important roles, as pets, sport dogs, and working dogs. The Functional Dog Collaborative will provide support to help breeders of both intentional crosses and purebreds be the best breeders they can. We will provide: <ul><li>a place to deposit and search health records, for help with making wise breeding decisions;</li><li>educational resources, starting with a curriculum for breeder education, and including genetic and breeding consulting;</li><li>most importantly, a supportive and open community through both social media and face to face opportunities, for mentorship, friendship, and social support.</li></ul>We hope you will help us.
