Showdog Resource Center

DogHobbyist.com is a home for those interested in the dog fancy at its most ethical and serious level. We support the exhibition of purebred dogs, as well as their responsible breeding. In addition to our weekly showdog and dog breeding chats, we provide free webhosting for dog clubs, organizations, and rescue groups. For more information, please contact PHChristy. We are also proud of our free program that lets responsible breeders highlight their dedication, and help educate prospective puppy buyers at the same time: The DogHobbyist Code of Ethics Breeder Registry.

Applicants will be asked to provide information about their breeding programs, health screening, involvement with the dog fancy, and placement policies, as well as indicate agreement with our Dog Breeders' Code of Ethics.

Those who meet our guidelines will receive a free listing in a comprehensive international database of registered code of ethics breeders. This breeder locator will be searchable by breed and by location, and will provide information on selecting a responsible breeder and obtaining a purebred dog to prospective puppy buyers.

You can read more about the program, review our code of ethics, educational materials, and application process, and add your listing here:
