I borrowed this from the English Setter club Code of Ethcis and I feels strongly it should apply to EVERY breeder and breed club:
“I am the caretaker not only of the individual dog but of the reputation and welfare of the breed as a whole.”
“It is incumbent upon me to set the example of each dog being individually cherished but only the physically and temperamentally sound being bred.”
“I accept the premise that if I breed a litter those dogs are my responsibility throughout their lifetime.”
