What is a breeders statement and what if I am not the breeder?
• A breeder’s statement is an affidavit signed by the breeder containing a signed and dated statement that the specimen was bred or propagated by the breeder or propagator with name and address of breeder, date of sale or transfer, species, sex (if known) and birth/hatch date. • If you are not the breeder, provide: (a) Identification of the specimen, including birth, hatch, or propagation date. For wildlife, the identifying information could include sex, size, band number, or other markings. Records that show the specimen’s origin (pre-Convention, previously imported, wild-collected, or born, bred, grown, or propagated in captivity in the United States). (b) Records that document the history of all transfers in ownership. (c) Each record needs to specifically identify the specimen and give the name and address of the owner.
