    BREEDER'S CODE OF ETHICS

    The International Olde English Bulldogge Association (IOEBA)and United Canine Association (UCA) ask that all breederssubscribe to the Code of Ethics as well as promote the higheststandards among breeders and owners and to encourage andsupport sportsmanship and cooperation in the preservation,advancement and improvement of IOEBA registered breeds.

    I will keep accurate records of my dogs. These records will

    include registration certificates, stud service contracts, pedigrees,vaccination and breeding records.

    I will maintain absolute identification of all my dogs, examples:

    photos, tattoos, microchips, registration papers and pedigrees.

    I shall plan each breeding with the objective of the improvement

    and advancement of the breed.

    I will thoughtfully select my stud dog and brood bitch with an

    emphasis on good health, correct conformation, temperament,working drive and ability while all the time referring to theIOEBA breed standard and the principles of genetics.

    I will maintain the highest standards of health and care for my

    dogs and I will provide sufficient water, food, shelter andveterinary attention as needed.

    I will show good judgment in the sale of my puppies. I will not

    sell my dogs/puppies to dog wholesalers, brokers or retailers.

    I will provide each buyer with IOEBA registration papers at the

    time of sale, unless a written agreement stating otherwise has beensigned by the buyer.

    I will help and educate the potential clients as to the basic

    characteristics, both physical and mental, of my breed to assist indetermining if it is the right breed for them.

    I will provide proper socialization for all my dogs and puppiesand interact with each daily.

    I will not be involved in or use my dogs for any illegal activity.

    None of my dogs are intended forany illegal activity and will notbe sold for such use.

    I will refrain from releasing my puppies to their new owners until

    they are at least seven weeks old, or eight weeks if they are to beshipped.

    The IOEBA Code of Ethics has been designed as a guideline forbreeders and fanciers. It is not a legal document and should not beconstrued as a rule or regulation to be enforced by punishment, itcarries no enforceable punishment. A breeder's adherence to theCode of Ethics is voluntary.
