This Code of Ethics establishes a standard of conduct to be followed by all members of Cocker Spaniel Clubs throughout Australia in the normal course of owning, exhibiting, selling and judging Cocker Spaniels.
Breeding represents a great responsibility to each individual, as he or she can upgrade or nullify many years of conscientious effort. The breeder must be aware of this responsibility.
The problems of the Breed can only be improved by discriminating and intelligent breeding programmes.
Breeding is to enhance positive qualities and cannot be expected to cover up serious faults. Therefore, breeding partners should be investigated for background and serious faults, before a commitment is made.
