CANADIAN FIRST BREEDING AWARDS

 

 

REGULATIONS

1. The applicant must have bred the birds in Canada.

2. Applications for the First Breeding Award must be made within two years of hatching with December 31st being the deadline for applications within any given year.

3. Each applicant must submit an article on the avicultural details of the first breeding suitable for publication in "The Avicultural Journal". The article will be placed in the next available Journal, whereupon comments, for or against the award, will be requested in two subsequent Journals.

4. Applicants for the First Breeding Award must establish that the young are totally weaned and self-sufficient before submitting the application.

5. Decisions on the First Breeding Awards will be made through an awards committee. Verification of any aspect of the application may be required by an A.A.C.C. Representative or Judge.

6. Only identifiable sub-species will be given recognition. Sub-species of an avian species that has already been bred in Canada will not be awarded a First Breeding Award, unless there is good documentation of the species previously bred and the sub-species. There must exist a significant difference between the species and the sub-species.
