When I was in Germany many years ago, I learned that in some European countries the parent clubs appoint some of their most knowledgeable and highly respected member breeders to act as “Zucht Wachter,” or breed wardens if you prefer. No longer active breeders when receiving this appointment, their primary responsibility is to serve as breed guardians.
