Approved Breeders

 Listing of breeders and litters in any NBCA publication is a privilege extended to members by the NBCA at its discretion. Approved breeders must hold current membership status, agree to and abide by the current NBCA Code of Ethics, and maintain the health and welfare of their animals. To be listed as an approved breeder or have litters listed by the NBCA, breeders must submit OFA, PennHIP or FCI rankings and CERF numbers on both sire and dam of the litter to the Secretary. OFA rankings must be Fair or above; PennHIP DI should be no greater than 0.6, subject to change as more Norwegian Buhunds are included in the PennHIP database; FCI rankings must be A or B. CERF numbers must be within 12 months of the breeding. In the event that a breeding animal is eight (8) years of age or above, current CERF is not required, as long as the animal has a CERF number during its seventh (7th) year. Bitches over six (6) years of age must have a veterinarian's certificate of health before breeding.
