What is a Breed Rep?
A Breed Representative (“Breed Rep”) is a person who has extensive first-hand knowledge and experience with a particular breed, including the specific health, behavior, and personality traits of that breed. He or she is responsible for evaluating dogs of a specific breed for adoptability, reviewing adoption applications, screening prospective homes for that breed, and providing ongoing guidance to adopters when needed. SPDR typically has Breed Reps for close to a hundred different breeds.
