LEVEL 6 - Breed Master

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this level is to award qualified certified Dire Wolf Project™ breeders an ability to crossbreed with the help of the DireWolf Dogs, Int'l board. Crossbreeding is vital to the Dire Wolf Project™, but only selected certified breeders may have the right to house and breed unrelated dog breeds for the purposes of improving the health and longevity, temperament, and/or bone and body structure goals of the Dire Wolf Project™. These breeders must show a special dedication and adherence to the policies set out by the DireWolf Dogs, Int'l. They must crossbreed only with intention to improve the breed and any crossbred lines must remain separated from the main American Dirus™ dog lines until they are proven to enhance the qualities set out by the Dire Wolf Project™. If not, these crossbred lines must be eliminated from the Dire Wolf Project™ without infiltrating the rest of the breed.
