IPFD Partner, The Raad van Beheer (RvB), has published the first five ‘foknormen’ (breeding norms) for breeding. The first breeds to have breeding norms are the Borzoi, the Beagle, the Manchester Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Breeding norms are mandatory pre-mating tests and/or screening results for a dog and bitch. These may include

  • eye examinations or
  • screening for hip or elbow dysplasia, or
  • a minimum breeding age or
  • a (positive) result of a behavioural test.

The RvB consults with breed clubs about which requirements should apply to their breed(s).

All published breeding norms can be found on this page >>. The link will take you to the breed information page where the breeding norms for the breed are published.

You can find more information and resources for several of these breeds in IPFD's Pedigree Breeds Database here on DogWellNet: Borzoi | Beagle | Staffordshire Bull Terrier
