Hi, Barb,
I took this quote from the ACKCSC web site. Why is it that no one can
seem to find it? <G> There is a standard, there is a Code of Ethics in
the ACKCSC. In fact, the number 2 paragraph in the COE deals with
health testing very clearly. It is simple, easy to understand not the
least bit obscure.
Additionally, the excellent Breed Guide (which includes proper ring
presentation) shows wonderful attention to detail and beautifully
presents each part of the breed standard in illustrations.
Yes, I understand that you are saying that some can belong to AKC and
not ACKCSC; but that becomes a matter of breeder discretion. Those who
want to maintain the breed standard will adhere to it with or without a
"club" and will ask others who bring bitches to their dogs to adhere to
it as well. In CKCSC, USA there are as many problems with that as
anywhere eles.
I do want to say that I hope that CKCSC continues for many years. The
show venues will be a wonderful place to which to return some day once I
can so afford them!
Best,
Suze
See the ACKCSC web site for a better presentation of this:
> ethics: 1. The discipline dealing with what is good and bad or right and
wrong or with moral duty and obligation.
2. A group of moral principles or set of values.
3. Principles of conduct governing an individual or a profession: standards
of behavior.
>
> We ask our members to endeavor to comply with Ethical Guidelines based
on the following:
> 1. To maintain the best possible standards of health and quality of life
for their dogs.
>
> 2. To breed only from sound stock of good temperament, taking full
advantage of all available health testing.
>
> 3. To exercise every possible precaution as to the placement of puppies
and to only sell puppies and/or older dogs to homes where there is a
reasonable expectation of a healthy and happy life and never knowingly
to sell to commercial dog wholesale or retail dealers or their agents.
To take back or help to rehome any unwanted Cavalier they have bred.

> 4. To be considerate of others including good sportsmanship, helping
novices, being truthful in representing your own dogs for sale or breeding,
attempting to breed and show to the standard as approved by the
American Kennel Club.
> NOTE: The American Kennel Club General Code of Ethics and their rules,
apply to this club and its members as well as anyone accepting
AKC jurisdiction.
