will be kept leashed or under effective control when away
from home.
9)
Will clean up after their dogs in public places or anywhere

Will supply written details of all dietary requirements and
give guidance concerning responsible ownership when placing
dogs in a new home.

earliest opportunity, if not immediately available.

pet dealers or directly or indirectly allow dogs to be given
as a prize or donation in a competition of any kind.
Will not sell by
sale or auction Kennel Club registration certificates as stand
alone items (not accompanying a dog).
14)
Will not knowingly misrepresent the characteristics of the
breed nor falsely advertise dogs nor mislead any person regarding
the health or quality of a dog.

as appropriate.
