Breed warden
The term breeding warden can have two different meanings:
Animal breeding
Today, breeding warden in many breeding associations (especially when breeding dogs and cats ) refers to the person who oversees the breeding activities of the breeders organized in the association . In particular, the breed warden is responsible for compliance with the breeding rules and regulations as well as the regular litter and kennel controls. In addition, depending on the association, he can pronounce breeding exclusions or order health and character tests. In general, the breed warden also keeps statistics on fallen litters and imported animals. He keeps the stud book or works with a stud book keeper.
Another main task of the breeding warden is to support and advise the breeders on general questions and specific problems as well as the connection between breeders, members and the board. Depending on the breed association, puppy placement can also be subordinate to him.
time of the nationalsocialism
In addition, breeding warden is a term with which the German Minister of Agriculture and eugenic utopian Richard Walther Darré, who was in office from 1933 to 1942 , wanted to replace the term “ eugenicist ”. Darré went so far as to place all human reproduction in the context of a human breeding utopia. He oriented himself on the model of animal breeding , which he wanted to transfer to humans with the creation of protective yards .
His breeding vision marks the transition from eugenic social utopias to their realization.
