Authorship, Respect for Creative Work and Using Educational Materials

My educational materials, articles, puppy care guides, studies and other content published through my work are the result of many years of experience, work, observation, learning and ongoing investment in costly education. They did not appear by chance or come together in a single day. Behind them are years of breeding experience and a search for the best solutions, which I deliberately share with others.

I do this so that the knowledge can help other breeders, dog owners and anyone committed to responsible breeding and animal care.

Sharing knowledge does not mean giving up authorship.

I therefore ask — and want to make my position clear — that when using my materials, you:

• do not copy them, in whole or in part, without my knowledge and permission;

• always identify the author and the source;

• do not remove my name, the author credit or source information;

• do not change the titles of my work in a way that makes it appear to have been created by someone else;

• do not modify my materials and then publish them as your own;

• do not use my work to build your own educational materials without appropriately crediting the source and author.

In particular, please do not change titles or remove author information from materials passed on as puppy care guides. Removing an author's name and adding a new title does not make a document the original work of the person who made those changes.

I have no objection to people learning from my knowledge.

Quite the opposite: if my experience can help someone, I am very pleased. You may take inspiration from my materials, learn from them and apply the knowledge they contain. Using knowledge, however, is different from claiming the results of someone else's work as your own.

This is not simply a matter of copyright law. It is also about ordinary respect, honesty and professional ethics.

If you draw on someone's years of work, name the author.

If you pass someone's material on to others, keep the source information.

If my material inspired you, I am glad — but do not present it as your own work.

It really is a small request, yet it says a great deal about a person and their attitude toward other people's work.

My knowledge is something I want to share. My authorship is not something I am giving up.

Please respect my work, authorship and intellectual property.

I also wish to make clear that my trademark is legally protected and registered with the Patent Office. I do not consent to the use of my mark, brand or materials in any way that could suggest they were created by, originate from or are associated with another person or organization.

If you would like to use my materials more extensively, please contact me first and obtain my permission.

Let us respect each other's work. We can share knowledge without taking authorship away from one another.
