This simple guide will help you assemble your information
(Don't stress about the word count, the editors will condense if necessary)
Ready? Let's go!

It's your breed, tell us about it,

. . . explain the physical and behavioral characteristics.  Be honest but not negative.  For example, if your breed is not notably good with small children, you might suggest it is best suited for older children or active adults.  If the current trend is toward oversized dogs you can mention that and send related info to be included in the Reference Section.  We send Judges there from The Judges' Place.
Breed Description limited to 200 words.

Your contact info and background

 . . . may include breed-specific, personal, and/or professional information.  Contact info is included so people can reach you directly or you can send them to your website. 
Breed Representative Bio limited to 100 words

A photo that best depicts the breed

. . . is worth a thousand words but go ahead, describe the dog's success in the show ring or as a producer, his/her personality, sire, dam, or why it is a great example of the breed. The photo can be a show photo, head study or a candid. Media Dept. will crop if needed. As a Certified Breed Representative, you are also encouraged to submit additional photos and information for the Breed Reference Section over which you will have input and a degree of control!

Photo caption limited to 50 words

One last thing, Email Media Dept. the registered names of
Three Champions, and/or Top Ten Winners or Top Producers bred by you.

An online form is being set up but in the meantime, assemble your
