The objective of this project is to encourage a good genetic selection. To encourage new breeders and to encourage a network of communication for the supporters of our charity. To also encourage communication, which is paramount, with our supporters and trustees. Creating positive and direct communication with the Trustees and/or Regional Representative.
The Charity’s ethos and focus is to support, inspire, educate and enthuse individuals about our breed and give guidance to our supporters.
