The Bearded Collie Club of America, in order to protect, preserve and

promote the advancement and proper breeding and showing of the

Bearded Collie, as well as ethical practices, does hereby set forth this

Code of Ethics.

All members shall maintain the best possible standards of health and

care of their dogs and shall sell only those who are in good health and

condition at the time of delivery. The breeder shall keep and pass on to

the buyer accurate health, breeding and registration records at the time

of the sale.

Registration with the American Kennel Club is the responsibility of the

breeder. It is recommended that all terms of agreement pertaining to

sales, leasing, whelping and breeding of dogs be recorded in writing.

Bearded Collies shall not be sold to pet shops, wholesale dealers,

contest sponsors or to any buyer who the breeder feels will not

properly care for the dog.

All advertising shall be of an honest and forthright nature.

Good sportsmanship shall be advanced by members at all times.

All members shall endeavor to help acquaint the public as to the

Standard of the Breed as adopted by the Bearded Collie Club of

America and approved by the American Kennel Club.

Members shall be held responsible for instructions to handlers and

groomers as to the proper grooming of the Bearded Collie so as to

conform to the Standard of the Breed.

Disciplinary action against any member for alleged misconduct

prejudicial to the best interest of the Club or the Breed may be taken by

the BCCA
