UNITED
KENNEL CLUB AKA UKC
United
Kennel Club is the largest
Working Dog Organisation in the World.
United Kennel Club is the second largest Dog Organisation
in the World.
United Kennel Club is many times more bigger
than for instance all of the Fédération
Cynologique Internationale (FCI) -organisations and clubs
counted together.
All
of the Toy Fox Terrier Kennels' dogs are registered in the United
Kennel Club.
All
of the dogs in the Toy Fox Terrier Kennels are working dogs.
In a nutshell this means that our dogs are bred by their working
abilities, not by their looks. Working abilities such as physical
and mental health are most important to us. Basically one can
say that working dogs are much more healthier than show dogs.
Working
dogs are registered of course in working dog organisation. Here
in the Toy Fox Terrier Kennels we settle only for the very best
- therefore all our dogs are registered in the Worlds best and
largest working dog organisation, the United Kennel Club. Also
all of the Toy Fox Terrier Kennels' dogs are registered in the
United Kennel Club with Purple Ribbon aka 'PR'. This 'PR' means
that this particular dog one can traced back for at least seven
pedigrees in U.K.C. Complete U.K.C. six- and seven-generation
pedigrees are available only to Purple Ribbon-bred dogs. A complete
seven-generation pedigree additionally requires that the dog's
sire and dam be Purple Ribbon bred.

Toy
Fox Terrier Kennel subscribes to the UKC Code of Ethics.
United
Kennel Club - Breeder's Code of Ethics
The
United Kennel Club, Inc., requests that all breeders subscribe
to the following Code of Ethics to promote and foster the highest
standards among breeders, owners, and fanciers, and to encourage
sportsmanship and cooperation in the improvement and advancement
of U.K.C. registered breeds.
RECORDS
I am familiar with, and follow, the "U.K.C. Kennel Requirements".
I will keep accurate records and retain those records for a
minimum of five years. These records will include: stud service
contracts, pedigrees, all litters produced, and all dogs/puppies
sold. I will use the "Breeder’s Record" that
the U.K.C. provides to me to maintain these records. I will
report to the Registration Office of the United Kennel Club,
Inc. any person who falsifies a registration or knowingly misrepresents
a pedigree.
BREEDING
I shall plan each breeding with the paramount intention
of improving the breed.
I will select the stud dog and brood bitch with an eye to conformation,
temperament, and working instinct and ability, with a careful
study of the breed standard, and the principles of genetics.
I will not breed any male or female until they are both physically
and mentally mature.
Before entering into any breeding arrangement, I will scrutinize
the pedigree, conformation, and working potential of both the
sire and dam, keeping in mind the ideal of the breed. I have
an obligation to refuse the breeding if, in my opinion, it is
not in the best interest of the breed.
As a responsible stud dog owner, I understand that should I
refuse a breeding, I will fully explain my reasons to the owner
of the bitch.
I believe that only those dogs known to be free of serious or
disqualifying defects should be used for breeding. I will not
breed monorchids, cryptorchids, dogs with vicious or shy temperaments,
or dogs with serious defects or disqualifications addressed
in their breed standards.
As a responsible breeder, I will refrain from using a dog that,
although free from serious or disqualifying defects, consistently
produces afflicted puppies.
I will encourage/require the buyers of pet quality puppies to
spay or neuter them.
HEALTH
I will maintain high standards of health and care for
my dogs and guarantee the health of my puppies at the time of
sale.
SALES
I will show discrimination in the sale of my puppies
and be concerned with the type of homes in which they are placed.
My dogs/puppies will not be sold to dog wholesalers or retailers.
I will transfer all applicable registration papers at the time
the purchase agreement is completed and is agreeable to both
parties.
Upon the sale of a dog/puppy, I will provide the buyer with
a properly executed U.K.C. Registration Certificate, diet record,
an innoculation and parasite control record, and a health guarantee.
I will refrain from releasing any puppy until it is at least
seven (7) weeks old, or eight (8) weeks old if the puppy is
to be shipped.
ADVERTISING
My advertising of dogs/puppies will be factual and
honest, both in substance and implication.
I will avoid encouraging buyers regarding the breeding potential
of a dog/puppy. I believe breeding purebred dogs involves certain
responsibilities and I will not take it lightly.
EXHIBITOR/BREEDER
RELATIONS
I understand that exhibiting dogs is a sport and that
I am expected to express good sportsmanship in all activities.
As an exhibitor I will refrain from unnecessary criticism of
other people’s dogs.
As a matter of ethics, I pledge to help educate the general
public as well as to assist the novice breeder.
IMPLEMENTATION
This Code of Ethics is intended as an expression of
goals for breeders, exhibitors, and fanciers. It is not to be
construed as a rule or regulation to be enforced by punishment.
Breeders are expected to police themselves in a civil and responsible
manner.
