BREEDING FOR THE FUTURE
ICB BFF Groups


In addition to the breed groups listed below, we have organized several special groups:

  • ICB DVMs (DVMs or current vet student; not vet tech)
  • ICB Genetics (members need a graduate degree in genetics - clinical, molecular, or population - or comparable professional experience)
  • ICB Health Chairs (members are current or past health or breeding committee chairs)

The following breed groups have been organized to participate in ICB's Breeding for the Future program.  The mission is for breeders worldwide to come together as a group to address the genetic problems in a breed and implement scientifically sound breeding strategies to improve health and insure sustainable breeding programs into the future.  These groups are not officially affiliated with any kennel clubs or breed clubs, but are organized and managed by their members under the ICB's Breeding for the Future program.  Please contact the appropriate breed group for information.  If you wish to participate or form a group for your breed, we encourage you to join the Breeding for the Future Facebook group.
