Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain Code of Ethics

1.0      I WILL      follow the Rules of Good Sportsmanship in all Siberian Husky Competition and activities.

2.0      I WILL      fully explain to all prospective Siberian Husky purchasers the disadvantages as well as the advantages of owning this breed.


3.0      I WILL      attempt to help and befriend novice exhibitors and breeders.

4.0      I WILL      endeavour to keep informed in the field of genetics and will work persistently to eliminate any hereditary defects from this breed.

5.0      I WILL      before entering into any Breeding Agreement carefully analyse the conformation and pedigrees of the prospective sire and dam, take into consideration any known hereditary or genetic defects and, keeping the Breed Standard in mind, refuse the mating if, in my opinion, it will not be in the best interests of the Breed. If I deny a Stud Service I will fully explain my      reasons to the owner of the bitch.

6.0      I WILL      undertake to screen all those Siberians I propose to breed from for all known hereditary defects, including Hip Displaysia and send a copy of the results certificates to the Breed historian. I will not breed from stock that is affected by PRA Hereditary Cataracts or pre-disposition to Primary Glaucoma and will endeavour to ensure that all puppies produced through my breeding will be similarly tested before they are bred from. If another hereditary problem occurs in my bloodlines, I will be honest and open about it to ensure that it is not unknowingly perpetuated in the Breed.

7.0      I WILL      refuse to deal with dog wholesalers or to sell puppies or dogs to pet shops and I will include in all Stud Contracts an agreement to be signed by the owner of the bitch that no puppies resulting from the mating will be disposed of to commercial dog dealers, puppy farms, pet shops or wholesale export merchants.

8.0      I WILL      accept full responsibility for all puppies bred by me. I will always take back, or provide for, any dog of my breeding which needs a new home until I find an alternative suitable home
