Code of Ethics
of
The Miniature Dachshund Club of British Columbia
1.
Indiscriminate breeding will be discouraged. The
welfare of the bitch, and the quality, health and long-term prospects of any
puppies bred will be paramount. I will
not knowingly sell any puppy to a dealer, broker or pet store.
2.
Stock that has, or may carry serious hereditary
faults, will be excluded from my breeding program.
3.
All pure bred puppies will be registered with
the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) or the American Kennel Club (AKC), and
purchasers of these puppies will be supplied with CKC or AKC Registration
papers at no additional cost.
4.
All sales of dogs as companion animals will be
subject to the provisions of CKC Non Breeding Agreements in addition to the
conditions included in my own kennel's Sales Agreement.
5.
As an exhibitor, in a spirit of friendship and
goodwill, I will applaud and appreciate other people's successes, and welcome
and assist newcomers to the sport of exhibiting purebred Dachshunds.
Note:
The
Miniature Dachshund Club of British Columbia disapproves the exporting of
Dachshunds to any country with a reputation for inadequate standards in the
care of dogs. All enquiries for breeding
stock should be investigated thoroughly.
