As a member of the Tampa Bay Poodle Club, Inc., I will become familiar with, and be governed by the rules of the American Kennel Club and always:
  • Be honest in representing my dogs in registration, breeding, exhibiting, selling and advertizing.
  • Keep my dogs in clean, safe housing, with attention paid to their nutrition, grooming and medical needs.
  • Strive to improve the quality and genetic soundness of the poodle, according to the AKC Breed standard.
  • In the spirit of good sportsmanship, respect both the wins and losses of others in competition.
  • Avoid indiscriminate or excessive breeding for the purpose of selling puppies.
  • Be supportive and loyal to the Club and to fellow members.
