I have been a member of the breed club in Wa state for several years now, only joined the Canadian one recently.
HOwever, even before I joined these clubs, I felt I knew what should be provided to a buyer before I read any Code of Ethics of any Club. When I read them, I found mine met or surpassed breed club Code of ethics.
Ethics come from the heart and soul, not only from the mandate of a Club.
When I initially started out or tried to rather, I was in the clutches of byb's. Their ethics drove me away from them as their first words were that they make money off their dogs and this is a business for them and it can be for me too. I couldn't see making money off of little 5 lbs dogs or any dogs for that matter as if they were livestock. That repugnancy I felt came from my heart and soul, not from anything I was taught.
I got away from them and found the right people.[/QUOTE]
You are so right, Ethics and Integrity is something that can't be taught, you either have it or you don't.
