POLICY
A)
Each member of the Patriot Papillon Club (PPC) will consider the welfare of the breed when engaged in
any activities involving breeding, exhibiting, training and selling of Papillons. Members will refrain
from any activities which would be prejudicial to the best interest of the breed and the PPC.
B)
Every member shall, at all times, whether at home, traveling to shows or at motels, conduct
himself/herself in such a manner as to reflect credit on the sport of dogs and on Papillons in particular.
C)
All members shall abide by the Constitution and By-Laws of the PPC and by all the Rules and
Regulations of the American Kennel Club.
D)
It is the responsibility of knowledgeable and experienced members to assist novices. Novices should be
encouraged to seek this assistance and to attend meetings/functions of the PPC.
E)
The Patriot Papillon Club, Inc. will not allow the use of its name in connection with any type of
advertising by a PPC member.

The following are requirements which must be met for Full Membership:
1. Home inspection by one or both of an applicant’s sponsors. Said sponsors must be PPC Members in

H)

BREEDING
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
For the purpose of the Membership Guidelines, a person is considered a breeder if he/she produces
one or more litters of Papillons, or uses his/her male to produce one or more litters of Papillons.
The owner of a stud dog must use discretion in contracting the services of his/her dog. A stud
owner’s moral obligations extend to the puppies sired by his/her males. Therefore, he/she should
discourage the person who wants to breed an inferior quality bitch and explain why he/she does so.
He/she should also ascertain that the owner of the bitch has the proper facilities to care for the
puppies.
Animals used for breeding should be in good health and physically and temperamentally sound;
they should be free from known hereditary defects.
No Papillon or litter shall be offered for consignment or resale to pet stores, animal brokers/agents
or sold for commercial use. (PPC recommends no papillon puppy be placed before 3 months of age)
Papillons sold as pets (not to be used for breeding) must be sold with a spay/castration contract or
with the A.K.C. non-breeding registration. Sellers should note in contract that if owner is unable to
keep dog, it will be the obligation of the seller to assist in the placement of the dog in question. (i.e,.
rescue your own)
