The ISAA supports breeders/stud owners whose goal is preservation of the Icelandic Sheepdog through “best” breeding practices. These
breeding practices are based on recommendations of the ISIC and studies conducted about the ISD. The ISAA has adopted the ISIC
Breeding Guidelines as goals. (More information is available on the ISAA website in the ISIC sections and in particular at http://www.
icelanddogs.com/ISI-Guidelines.html). Adopting these guidelines as goals means that we are working towards them, not that they are all
required.

As a full participant club in the ISIC, the ISAA participates in the ISIC annual Breeding Seminar and gives us contacts internationally, who
we can call on when the need arises. The breeding seminar brings together breeding information and data from the breeding committees of
each of the FCI Icelandic Sheepdog clubs and the ISAA. Experts provide relevant breeding data and scientific studies are funded by the
ISIC. The ISAA has made a great deal of this information available on the club website and continues to add information as it becomes
available. This is a tremendous resource to our breeders and stud owners.

The breeder/stud dog document (see button below) sets out what is required to be an ISAA approved breeder/stud owner so that there is
no confusion as to what is recommended and what is required. We encourage your active participation in this process.   

Approved breeders/stud dog owners are listed on the ISAA breeder/stud pages of the club website at no charge. The ISAA website is a
tremendous free advertising resource offered to approved breeders/stud owners and is of significant financial value.

Litter listings require verified health tests and a litter listing fee of $100. Verification of health tests and payment must be received before
listing on any litter page. Litters will continue to be moved from planned to future to current depending on whether the litter is planned,
mated (future) or the litter has arrived (current).

We invite you to complete the following steps to ensure that you are listed as an ISAA approved breeder/stud dog owner.  
1. Review the material on the breeder agreement button.

2. If you desire to become or continue to be listed as an approved breeder/stud owner, download the breeder agreement,
complete and sign the required sections.

3. Make sure you have all of the required submittal documents as listed in the agreement and send them via US mail to the
address provided.
