Sorry...I've been quoting Codes of Ethics, not By-Laws. Most clubs with Codes of Ethics, even those that do not demand that a member sign anything, will discipline a member who violates such Code...........Clubs that have bothered to institute them expect members to adhere to them....whether puppymills are mentioned in the By-Laws or not, if they are in c club's CofE, what's the difference? That is not a rhetorical question, by the way...... (and I posted this question to the list because I included the list when I sent quotes from other clubs' Codes......not to cause a problem) Peggy Lindabankhead@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hi Ladies > > I know the list found code of ethics examples from other clubs, I was > curious as to whether or not other breed clubs have language in the by > laws that we could consider as it relates to puppy mills? > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
