Breeding guidelines
At Competible, we're committed to the highest standards of ethical breeding. Our guidelines ensure the health and well-being of all animals involved.
Animal Welfare
Breeders must provide a nurturing environment that meets the physical and emotional needs of their animals. This includes spacious living areas, regular exercise, and socialization opportunities. Animals should never be kept in cages or confined spaces for extended periods.
Health Screenings
All breeding animals must undergo comprehensive health screenings to identify and prevent the transmission of genetic disorders. This includes DNA testing, veterinary examinations, and certifications for breed-specific health concerns.
Responsible Breeding Practices
Breeders must adhere to responsible breeding practices, including careful selection of breeding pairs to minimize the risk of genetic issues. Overbreeding is strictly prohibited, and breeders must allow sufficient recovery time between litters.
Transparency and Communication
Breeders are expected to maintain open and honest communication with potential pet owners. This includes providing detailed information about the animal's health history, temperament, and care requirements. Breeders should also be available to answer questions and offer support throughout the animal's life.
Compliance and Enforcement
Competible conducts regular audits and inspections to ensure compliance with our breeding guidelines. Breeders who fail to meet our standards may face penalties, including suspension or removal from our platform. We encourage pet owners to report any concerns or violations of our guidelines.
