All breeders who register their puppies with the Utonagan Club accept the jurisdiction of the Utonagan Club and undertake to abide by its General Code of Ethics.

The registered owners of all Utonagan Club registered dogs accept the jurisdiction of the Utonagan Club and undertake to abide by this General Code of Ethics:
 
  • Owners will properly house, feed, water and exercise all dogs under their care and arrange for appropriate veterinary attention if and when required.
 
  • Owners will not allow any of their dogs to roam at large or to cause a nuisance to neighbours or those carrying out official duties.
 
  • Owners will ensure that their dogs will wear properly tagged collars and shall be kept fully leashed or under effective control when away from home.
 
  • Owners will clean up after their dogs in public places or anywhere where they compete with their dogs.
 
  • Owners will agree without reservation that any veterinary surgeon performing an operation on any of their dogs which alters the natural conformation of the animal, may report such operation to the Utonagan Club.
 
  • Owners agree not to breed from a bitch in any way which is deleterious to the bitch or breed.
 
  • Owners agree only to sell dogs where there is a reasonable expectation of a happy and healthy life and will help with the re-homing of a dog if the initial circumstances change.
 
  • Owners will supply written details of all dietary requirements and give guidance concerning responsible ownership when placing dogs in a new home.
 
  • Owners will not sell any dog to commercial dog wholesalers, retail pet dealers or directly or indirectly allow dogs to be given as a prize or donation in a competition of any kind.
 
  • Owners will not knowingly misrepresent the characteristics of the breed nor falsely advertise dogs or mislead any person regarding the quality of a dog.
 
  • Owners will ensure that all relevant Utonagan Club documents are provided to the new owner when selling or transferring a dog. The owner will agree, in writing, to forward any relevant documents at the earliest opportunity, if not immediately available.
