Disclaimer Notice

The SACBR cannot guarantee that canines and felines registered on our database, and/or their progeny, are free from any inheritable or congenital defects, nor guarantee any standard of performance. The SACBR serves as a registry for purebred canines and felines, and is a voluntary association of breeders who must breed healthy animals at all times, to international standards.

We have no legislative powers to adjudicate between parties in dispute over the purchase and sale of puppies, or over the purity of any canine or feline. The SACBR reserves the right to conduct a breeder kennel inspection with or without cause. We reserve the right to decline any application or registration, and/or to cancel a breeder membership with the SACBR, with or without cause. Our policies are subject to the requests of other registration authorities that do not allow the SACBR to register their canines or offspring on our database due to breeding restrictions. It is solely at our discretion to advertise breeders and litters online as we deem fit; if a breeder registers no puppies for a period longer than twelve months, we will temporarily remove that breeder from our breeders website list.

The SACBR operates in terms of the Animal Improvement Act, 1998 (Act 62 of 1998), and the regulations under the Act for companion animals. We do not register the SA landrace canine (Boerboel/African Mastiff), the American Bully/Pitbull Terrier, or any form of designer canine breed.
