ACS Breeder Member Benefits The ACS Breeder's Hub offers a platform for breeders to manage their programs, producing superior puppies with each generation more easily. The Hub provides access to pedigrees, health information, COI calculations, a stud directory, and much more. We encourage collaboration and support breeders to work together. We believe by working collectively we can breed better dogs, focusing on temperament with stronger health, lower COI and provide assurance to puppy buyers that ACS breeder members uphold the highest ethical standards not seen before in the history of the Australian Cobberdog. As an ACS breeder member, you will gain access to worldwide support underscored by honesty, professionalism, transparency and integrity. Online Pedigree Database Mentorship Program Breeder Resources Competitive Pricing Democratic Process Through the Breeder's Hub you will have access to a comprehensive database with the ability to view all pedigrees and health information for your dogs. Easily submit records of your litters, upload all information directly into the pedigree database for registration. Plan matings and view the COI for your breeding pairs to ensure genetic diversity and reduce the risk of inherited health issues. Connect with breeders across the globe and find potential studs with ease. Our New Breeder mentorship program will ensure every breeder member obtains the support and guidance they need to make sound decisions in their breeding programs. We want to be sure that new breeders understand the high standards ACS Members uphold for the care and responsible management of their breeding dogs and have access to the resources they need for a successful breeding program. The ACS provides digital templates for breeders to streamline their breeding operations. These templates cover breeding planning & whelping records, health management plans, pedigree charts, and other essential documents. The ACS aims to simplify administrative tasks, improve data accuracy, and enhance record-keeping through the resources provided. Breeders can access these resources online through the Breeders Hub. As a not-for-profit member organisation we provide a competitive pricing structure, less fees payable at lower rates. Our goal is to make it easier and more affordable for breeders to access the resources they need to succeed in their business with the added comfort of knowing all fees go directly back into the Society to promote the Australian Cobberdog breed. By being a not-for-profit organization, the Australian Cobberdog Society can: Reinvest funds : All monies raised go directly back into the breed's management, development and promotion rather than being distributed as profits. Avoid conflicts of interest: No single entity benefits from the breed's success or has a financial incentive to register dogs that do not meet ACS Standards. Foster a sense of community : The elected committee represents the collective interests of breeders, promoting a sense of unity and cooperation. This structure allows for collective decision-making, ensuring that the committee's focus is on what's best for the breed, rather than personal gain.
