Dog
Breeder's Codes of Ethics Links
This Codes of Ethics links collection includes everything
from the worthless to the gold. Comparing the various codes can be enlightening.
There are some principles that will appear in most of the codes, such as
not selling to pet shops. Of those that spell out exactly what health tests
are required most tend to be rather conservative, requiring only the most
widely known tests (such as hip x-rays). This is, sadly, true even where
more serious problems can readily be tested for and risks reduced, such
as cardiomyopathy.
In many cases you can use links on the pages to get more information on the
breeds, on their health problems, and on locating responsible breeder. In
most cases there is no connection between complying with the codes and getting
a dog registered. The non-AKC breed registries are the most common exception.
Some of those registries withhold registration if breeding guidelines are
ignored.

I couldn't find an on line (accessible by web site)
code of ethics for these breeds. That doesn' mean there isn't one, just
I couldn't find it. An exact page reference would be helpful
if there is an on-line code of ethics to compare and review.
