•
II. Breeding•A. As a breeder, I will only breed dogs so as to improve the breed as defined by the
Breed Standard. •1. I will not knowingly breed any dog
or bitch that has defects of a nature that will make it detrimental to the Miniature Schnauzer breed.
(i.e. cleft palate, monarchism or cryptorchism, albinism, white or parti-colored
schnauzers)

breeding purposes.
• III.
Sale of puppies or Adult Animals- A. I will not sell dogs or donate dogs to commercial
dog wholesalers or retailers, nor to laboratories except those approved by the club.
- B. I will
not broker puppies, nor accept commissions on the sale of any puppies. I will not purchase puppies from others for the purpose
of resale.
- C. I will not knowingly sell, lease, or transfer any dog that has defects of a nature
that would make it detrimental to the Miniature Schnauzer breed (i.e. cleft palate, monarchism or cryptorchism, albinism,
white or parti-colored schnauzers) unless it has been spayed or neutered, or is sold or transferred under a spay/neuter contract
or under limited registration.
- D. I will not sell stock without true representation to the purchaser,
nor use misleading untruthful statements in selling or advertising.
- 1. No puppy under four
(4) months of age shall be sold as a "show dog", or as so called "show potential." Both terms, due to
the young age of the puppy are without foundation, and would therefore be strictly undesirable inference selling.
- 2. No puppy over four (4) months of age shall be sold as a "show dog" unless pointed.
- E. I will maintain high standards of health and care for my dogs.
- 1. I will furnish
buyers with a health certificate from a veterinarian to show the animal is in good health when sold.
- 2. Dogs especially puppies must be inoculated prior to being sold and evidence of this will be furnished to the purchaser
at the time of sale.
- 3. Puppies will not be delivered to their new owner prior to eight (8)
weeks of age or older as may be required by law.
- 4. I will not sell puppies or older dogs believed
to be sound physically for less than one hundred dollars ($100.00). Prices of the puppies should be based on individual quality
and in no way should the quality be a detriment to the breed or this club.
IV. The
above objects are to be carried out in a spirit of harmony, cooperation and friendship among the members, and always in the
best interest of the Miniature Schnauzer Breed and Fanciers.
The Code of Ethics was adopted by vote of the membership at the montly meeting January 26,, 1994.
