John Berger says, “Without ethics, man has no future,” and the same can be said of dog shows. A code of ethics allows organizations to communicate ideas such as rules a group must follow or personal ideals of right and wrong, but no matter the definition, people understand a code of ethics differently because they have contrasting opinions on morality. The dog fancy needs the AKC Code of Sportsmanship (approved by the board in 2006) to communicate the sport’s guidelines for behavior. Even though people in various roles in the dog show world have different ideas on how to follow the Code of Sportsmanship and what that means, the AKC Code of Sportsmanship still applies to all roles in the dog world. All participants have a right to their own opinion, but without a code of ethics applying to breeding, judging, and handling, the future of dog sports would be in jeopardy.
