This CODE OF ETHICS (Articles I through IV) is set forth as a guideline to protect and advance the interests of Boxers and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience trials and tracking events, including a respect for people and dogs. It is presented as a guideline for American Boxer Club members to follow when breeding, buying, selling or competing and exhibiting their Boxers. Members of the American Boxer Club will conduct themselves in such a manner as to reflect credit on the sport of purebred dogs and on Boxers in particular, regardless of the location or circumstances. AKC Rules and Regulations and THE AMERICAN BOXER CLUB BY-LAWS should be known and adhered to at all times. It is important to know the current Standard of the Breed. Breed only with the intention of improving the breed. 2. Breed only from healthy, sound, typey individuals who display good sound temperament and qualities, which are free of known disqualifying faults. 3. All dogs offered at stud should be in good health. They should be free from Canine Brucellosis and other communicable diseases as well as disqualifying genetic faults. A written Stud Contract is essential and it should state that the owner of the Stud Dog will not sign a litter registration application which includes in the count any puppies with a color disqualification (Art. 5. Page 4). Monorchids are not considered breeding stock. 4. Any bitch accepted for stud service should be at least eighteen months of age, in good health, free from communicable diseases and disqualifying faults. The bitch must be accompanied by a current Veterinarian's certificate stating that she is free of Canine Brucellosis. It is the responsibility of the stud dog owner to properly provide for all visiting bitches' safety and security. Each bitch must be bred only to the stud dog specified by her owner. A change of stud dog is only permitted with the express consent of the owner of the bitch and should be included as an amendment to the Stud Contract. 5. Bitches should be bred only between the ages of eighteen months and 6 years and not more than once a year. 6. Breeders will keep accurate breeding papers, pedigrees and contracts.
