    Code of Ethics

    General:
    bullet I will maintain high standards of health and care for my dogs.
    bullet I will comply with AKC and AMSC rules and regulations.
    bullet I will make every effort to learn about the structure, anatomy, action, inherited traits and behavior of the dog; especially where such learning applies to terrier breeds and specifically to the Miniature Schnauzer.
     

    Breeding:
    bullet I will at all times breed for the improvement of the breed as exemplified by the AKC Standard.
    bullet I will only use for breeding or offer stud service to mature adults who are of sound temperament and free from disqualifying faults and known hereditary defects. No dog or bitch shall be bred if it is not eligible for AKC registration or has been sold with limited registration.
     

    Registration and Sales/or Transfer of Ownership:
    bullet Puppies and adults will be sold with a written health guarantee, three generation pedigree, record of shots, care and feeding instructions, and registration papers where applicable.
    bullet The seller shall inform the buyer of the characteristics of Miniature Schnauzers, and make available to the novice the benefit of his advice and experience.
    bullet All pet puppies will be sold with a Limited Registration and/or Spay/Neuter Contract.
    bullet The breeder shall remain responsible for the welfare of every dog he breeds, sells or places. This means making himself available to aid the new owner if and when the need presents itself. If in the future the owner is not able to keep the dog, the owner should be instructed to contact the seller and the seller will have the responsibility to either take the dog back or find it a new home.
    bullet The breeder will not sell or dispose of any dog through pet shops, wholesalers or commercial dealers.
      

    Sportsmanship
    bullet I will conduct myself in a manner that is in the best interest of the breed, the AMSC and the AKC.
    bullet I will use the official standard of the breed when evaluating and breeding my own stock, and encourage its application in judging.
     

    I understand that if I fail to follow this code of ethics, I am liable for expulsion from The San Joaquin Miniature Schnauzer Club.
