Indiana Council for Animal Welfare
ICAW’s response to Mr. Daniel Gingerich, IOWA Breeder
Indianapolis, IN — 10/20/2021 — Indiana Council of Animal Welfare (ICAW) is an association of
Professional Companion Animal Breeders, representing approximately 400 Breeders.
ICAW has and continues to be a professional organization and leader for companion animal breeding.
ICAW has established many programs like the Kennel Management Assistance (KMA) program and other stop gaps
to reduce the chances of a breeder like Mr. Gingerich from producing in the state of Indiana. ICAW continues to
work and support the USDA to ensure that all regulations are understood and complied with. We are diligent in our
efforts to maintain the best communication possible with the State of Indiana Board of Animal Health (BOAH).
These regulatory relationships ensure that all members are aware of laws, rules, and trends on both the state and
national landscapes.
ICAW members lead the country with the largest number of Canine Certified Breeders, Canine Care
Certified is a nationwide, voluntary program that addresses the health and overall welfare of dogs in the care of
breeders in the United States. It is the only program that not only incorporates measures of the physical health of
dogs and puppies raised by breeders, but also strongly emphasizes their behavioral well-being.
While Mr. Gingerich is entitled to due process, ICAW would like you to know and understand that we have
not and will not show any type of support for this sort of breeder behavior. ICAW believes that is an honor and
privilege to raise “Man’s Best Friend” but also a great responsibility.
