Code of Ethics
To maintain high standards both as a working and social club, the following principles have been established and are to be adhered to by all existing and new members. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the club in accordance with provisions as provided in the constitution.
No member shall give, sell or otherwise place any dog (either their own or as an agent for another) in a "pet store" or any "retail/discount" facility.
Members are to provide humane living conditions for any dog(s) in their possession, this to include proper vaccinations and normal health care in addition to normal humane treatment standards set by the state and local Humane Societies.
All members are to conduct themselves in a wholesome, respectable manner as representatives of the club at all times.
If it is known that the intention exists to violate this Code of Ethics, it is not only permissible but within legal boundaries to refuse membership application, subject to notification of the Board of Directors that such action is being taken.
