CODE OF ETHICS BREEDERS
The Maremma Sheepdog Club of America aspires to protect the development of Maremma Sheepdogs by encouraging breeders to adopt the following Code of Ethics to promote and foster the highest standards among breeders who are concerned with the propagation of physically, mentally and temperamentally sound Maremma Sheepdogs of proper breed type, and to encourage cooperation in the improvement, advancement, and protection of our breed.
Code of Ethics Breeders accept responsibility for the protection, well-being and improvement of the breed and agree to the following:
Code of Ethics Breeders accept responsibility for the protection, well-being and improvement of the breed and agree to the following:
- CoE Breeders educate themselves about the Maremma Sheepdog, its history, temperament, needs and health issues.
- CoE Breeders breed only those Maremma Sheepdogs which have no radical departure from the official breed standard as accepted by MSCA, including temperament flaws.
- CoE Breeders breed only for the purpose of improving the quality of the breed as livestock guardians.
- CoE Breeders breed only those dogs who have received either OFA hip certification as being clear of hip dysplasia, or PennHIP DI scores of less than 0.51, and will record all tests openly with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
- CoE Breeders breed discriminately and only upon strong evidence of the possibility of finding suitable homes for the resulting puppies.
- CoE Breeders breed only physically and mentally mature dogs of appropriate breeding age, and refrain from breeding any dog or bitch that consistently produces progeny with serious faults or hereditary health issues.
- CoE Breeders are available to buyers for advice they may need for the life of the dog and educate prospective owners of the advantages, disadvantages & responsibilities of owning a Maremma Sheepdog.
- CoE Breeders take responsibility for all offspring produced in their breeding program and will assist in their lifetime placements and re-homing if necessary, and will assume responsibility for any dog of their breeding if the owner must relinquish their dog, or for any dog of their breeding which comes into the possession of a rescue network or shelter.
