Breed Councils
The FIFe Breed Councils came into being on the 1st January 2003. Their purpose is to have a direct input on anything affecting the individual breed with which they are concerned.
• Providing a Council has a minimum of six members from six different FIFe members, the Council is eligible to submit a proposal to the relevant Commission and, if the Commission are in agreement, they will put it on the Agenda of the next General Assembly.
• Where a proposal concerning a specific breed is put to the General Assembly, the relevant Breed Council will be consulted for its views.
• Members of the Breed Council may come from all the 37 FIFe Members giving a wide basis for discussion on a particular breed.
• Every three years each Breed Council appoints a secretary by ballot.
• There are Rules for Breed Councils.
• Application forms to become a member of a Breed Council are available. These must be submitted, with the required fee, through the national Member. Memberships run from 1st January to 31st December each year.
