Trust matters

Every important instruction should point back to a source.

This site will separate official requirements from helpful advice. Each page can show where the information came from, when it was checked, and whether it still needs local confirmation.

Official

Directly supported by a current official publication or page.

Confirm locally

May vary by county, club, year, species, or superintendent.

Research collected but not ready to rely on yet.
