TSSC of NC Code of Ethics
The purpose of the Club is to promote the Shetland Sheepdog as a companion, to serve as a source of education and information, and to perpetuate and improve the breed. As a member, because I have love and admiration for the Shetland Sheepdog and because I realize the responsibility with which I am entrusted as a breeder and/or promoter of the breed, I will abide by the following Code of Ethics:
-
I pledge to conduct myself in a manner which reflects credit on and support of the breed. I pledge to demonstrate honesty and integrity in my dealings with others, and to exhibit good sportsmanship in competitive events. I will comply with AKC regulations for showing and registration.
- I pledge to provide good housing, care and
affection for all animals in my possession. Dogs I take to public gatherings
will be clean and healthy.
- I pledge that if I breed, the choice of sire
and dam will be carefully considered, with the aim of producing puppies who
will conform to the breed standard in both conformation and temperament. A
mating will be made only if both parents are AKC-registered (unlimited
registration), and only if the owner of the dam agrees that no puppies are
to be sold to pet stores or other wholesale outlets.
- I pledge to use my best efforts to locate responsible, loving homes for all animals sold or placed, and to provide follow-up information and guidance to the new owners.
The Club supports the concept of
testing breeding stock for genetically transmissible health problems. The Club
encourages the use of spay/neuter contracts and/or limited registrations in
order to discourage uninformed or irresponsible breeding.
