Svaz chovatelů ovcí a koz z. s. (SCHOK)

The national association of Czech sheep and goat breeders. It keeps the sheep and goat herdbooks (with separate herdbook offices), organises breeds into breed clubs and runs breeding-stock sales, assessments and shows. It has a veterinary section and health-control methods, and offers a manual for beginners. Members can get interest-free loans from its self-help fund.

Membership is voluntary. Anyone who agrees with the association's aims and activities and breeds sheep or goats, or supports their breeding, can join, both natural and legal persons. You join with an application form.
