(2)     The dam has already reached the age of 8 years at the date of whelping, or

(3)     The dam was under one year old at the time of mating, or

(4)     The offspring are the result of any mating between father and daughter, mother and son or brother and sister, save in exceptional circumstances or for scientifically proven welfare reasons.

Relief from the restriction set out in 22c(2) may be considered by the General Committee normally provided application is made prior to the mating, and the proposed dam has previously whelped at least one other registered litter.
