WHAT IS A BREEDING COOPERATIVE?
A breeding cooperative (co-op) is a group of like-minded breeders who share goals, advice, and breeding dogs. The Functional Dog Collaborative is enabling the creation of breeding co-ops as a way to bring together breeders for mutual support. Breeders who are cross-breeding or who have goals that do not align with any breed club’s may find working on their own to be challenging.
