  • A PSLRA Member must own either the Sire or the Dam and must submit the listing for a non-Member, using the PSLRA Litter Listing & Puppy Referral Program Form for ALL litters.
  • Litters will be posted on the Club’s website and newsletter if they conform to the Club’s Code of Ethics.
    • Litters can be posted for 12 weeks from the original posting date.
