2. A member-breeder will be familiar with the AKC rules governing record keeping, registration and sale and transfer of dogs, and will abide by those rules.
   
3. A member selling a dog or puppy which he knows to have a physical disorder or a serious deviation from the standard which indicates that the breeding of the animal would be detrimental to the welfare of the breed, will inform the buyer the sale will be made with an agreement in writing, signed by both buyer and seller, that the dog is not to be bred. Additional agreements pertaining to spaying or neutering of the animal are encouraged.
