Webster...ethic's...
The study of the general nature of morals and of the specific moral choices to be made by the individual in his relatonship with others....rules and standards governing the conduct of members of a profession.
Any set of moral principles or values..
Hmmmm...is it unethical to deviate from the standard set by AKC, YTCA etc...
If you are not a member of these clubs, do you have a free pass to do as you please or what you think will improve the breed?
I think it is unethcial for members to follow their own agenda, disregarding the standard and experimenting to improve the breed with non-standard colors...and I see members break rules everyday..so all need to clean up their acts...
Last thought..many breeders I know who are not members of any clubs are very conscience of the standard and adher to it as if it was the Bible... |
