CODE OF ETHICS
1.I will abide by the rules and regulations of the United Kennel Club, the Club’s Constitution and Bylaws, and the Club’s Code of Ethics.
2.I will, to the best of my ability, perform and complete all Club tasks I have agreed to accept.
3. I will, at all times, conduct myself in a manner that will reflect honorably upon myself, the United Teddy Roosevelt Terrier Club of America and the United Kennel Club. I will conduct myself in a professional, respectful manner when conversing or dealing with other Club members or the general public.
4. I will, at all times, exhibit good sportsmanship and encourage all others with whom I come in contact to do the same.
5. I will at all times try to be constructive and instructive in my dealings with other members and the general public.
6. I will refrain from any public criticism of other people’s dogs or their breeding program.
7.I will attempt to plan my breeding program so that it will improve the overall quality of the breed, both in health, breed qualities, temperament and conformation. I will refrain from breeding dogs until they reach maturity in both mind and body. If I offer my male at public stud I understand I have both the right and the responsibility to refuse to use my dog if I do not feel that breeding is in the best interest of the breed, and will explain to the owner of the bitch why I feel this way.
8. I will endeavor to learn my breed’s health problems as well as genetics involved in them in order to produce healthy animals. And to this end I will endeavor to breed only healthy animals, and if possible to breed animals that have been tested for any problems in that breed.
9. I will not knowingly sell any animals to wholesale “brokers,” pet stores or to anyone who sells to them.
10. I will refrain from releasing any puppy until it is at least eight (8) weeks old.
11. I will encourage the owners of pet quality puppies to spay or neuter them.
12. I will transfer all applicable registration papers to the buyer at the time the purchase agreement is completed and is agreeable to both the buyer and me.
13. Upon the sale of a dog/puppy I will provide the buyer with a properly executed Registration Certificate, diet record, an inoculation and parasite control record and a health guarantee.
14. I will attempt at all times to make my advertising as honest and factual as possible. I will not make false or misleading statements, or in any way misrepresent my dogs to be other than what I can verify as true.
