Registration of a cattery name does not entitle to use the WCF-logo
Because of current events we point out that the registration of a cattery name with the WCF does not entitle to use the WCF-logo for advertisement or self-written pedigrees.
The registration of a cattery name without being member of a WCF club serves only for the legal protection of the name.
Pedigrees with the WCF-logo can be issued only by WCF clubs.
