Educational content only
Bred With Purpose ("we," "our," "this site") publishes educational and advocacy content about dogs, dog breeding, and responsible dog ownership. Nothing on this site is veterinary, medical, legal, financial, or professional advice, and nothing here creates any professional relationship. Always consult a licensed veterinarian about the health of any dog, and qualified professionals about legal or business questions.
Accuracy and sources
We work hard to get the facts right. Factual claims in our articles carry citations to their sources, and we correct errors when they're found. Even so, all content is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind — data changes, studies are revised, and laws are amended. Where content reflects a viewpoint, it is the viewpoint of this campaign.
We are pro-education, not anti-anything
This campaign advocates for responsible, intentional, health-tested breeding. It does not oppose animal adoption or rescue, and nothing on this site should be read as discouraging anyone from adopting a dog. How a family finds their dog is their decision to make, and we support every dog landing in a home that is ready for it.
Breeders, kennels, and listings
References to breeders, kennels, clinics, clubs, or other organizations — including any supporter listing or directory entry — are informational and are not a guarantee, endorsement, warranty, or certification of any person, program, or dog. We do not broker, sell, or place dogs. Anyone acquiring a dog is responsible for their own diligence, and any transaction is solely between the parties involved.
No affiliation
Bred With Purpose is an independent campaign. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the American Kennel Club (AKC), the Westminster Kennel Club, the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), Embark, or any registry, parent club, or organization we reference. All third-party names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the organizations and programs being discussed.
