It would be interesting to know the percentage of hobby exhibitor breeders that have been unethical, compared to the percentage of hobby non-exhibitor breeders who have been unethical.
My guess is, it would be the same. The YTCA can preach ethices, but they can not force them. If one is unethical, joining a club is not going to change them. And if one IS ethical, the lack of a club is not going to change that.
I am going to make some changes to the CYTC website to include advertising eithics. However I do not believe it is going to change how the various members conduct their business. |
Not true...read their Constitution & By-Laws...they can be kicked out. Unless you have these (constitution/bylaws) in place then I think you have to be careful with the wording of "club". Otherwise I think you are a group of breeders with the same interests...that is fine but I can quarantee that the members of any of the AKC dog clubs spent a great deal of time on their constitution & bylaws...They have a board of directors to review conflicts and complaints from other members. No one single person can make any changes to their rules..they have to be voted on.
Frankly, I don't get as uptight about advertising as I do the breeders contracts...that really tells the story about who is an ethical breeder to me. I don't care if they are show breeders, hobby breeders (I hate that name by the way) or a byb....
