Community Guidelines

Last updated: July 8, 2026

These guidelines describe what we expect from breeders and buyers using BreedScout. They apply in addition to our Terms of Service.

Listing standards

Listings must accurately represent the dog, including breed, health, and genetic information.
Photos and documents uploaded to a listing must belong to the dog described.
Health clearances and certifications must be genuine and current.

Licensing compliance

Breeders must comply with all licensing requirements that apply to how they sell, including federal USDA/APHIS licensing if applicable to their sales method. Listings from breeders known to be operating without a legally required license may be removed.

Respectful communication

Messages between users should be honest and respectful. Harassment, discrimination, and abusive language are not permitted.

Prohibited conduct

Misrepresenting a dog's health, genetics, provenance, or registration status.
Attempting to defraud another user.
Circumventing or discouraging compliance with applicable animal welfare or licensing laws.
Using BreedScout's messaging or matching tools to route users off-platform in order to evade future platform fees or policies.
