Code of Ethics
Members of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Club of NSW Inc acknowledge that the welfare of the breed in general and of
their own Cavaliers should be maintained at all times.
Members of the
Club, in the interest of the Cavalier breed, endorse the following:-
*
That all breeders should try to improve their knowledge of the breed by studying
the standard and breed publications, and should be alert to, and work to correct
inherited problems.
* That breeders should not use unregistered
Cavaliers for breeding nor allow their stud dog (if any) to be used with an
unregistered or cross bred bitch.
* That breeders do not sell or donate
any Cavalier to be auctioned or raffled, or sell a Cavalier to any dealer, agent
or pet shop within Australia or Overseas, or to any person for export to any
dealer/agent or pet shop of any Overseas Country.
* That puppies should
not be sold until completely weaned and independent of their dam, not before 8
weeks of age, and that they should be vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped,
wormed and registered with the Royal NSW Canine Council before sale. Each puppy
should be accompanied by complete feeding instructions and a guide to general
care.
Failure to comply will force the
club to refer the matter to the Ethics Committee of the Royal NSW Canine
Council.
