繁殖者的道德與義務 10 Rules of Ethical Breeding

gutou887

無論身分為何，廣泛的說只要有繁殖的行為都可稱為繁殖者，
也有責任擔負繁殖者的道德與義務，但純粹以利益或是基於其他種種各式各樣
的理由而繁殖的人殖者的道德與義務，便有了狗販或自家繁殖等等的稱謂，
這些人大部分在有意無意之間規避了所有對繁殖的自我要求與道德責任，
看看髖關節....等等的遺傳疾病便知失去繁殖者的道德是多麼的嚴重與危險，
希望這篇文章能更清楚說明這一點 。


繁殖狗狗是一件跟
倫理密不可分的大事。」蘇菲雅博士建立了10 Rules of Ethical Breeding.


1) The only reason to be breeding purebred dogs is to
preserve the best qualities of the breed. Breeding to supply any
market is not a justification.

繁殖純種狗的唯一理由：是維護該純種狗的品質，並不是為了市場需求。


2) You need to do all of your breeding with the best
interests of the breed in mind.Never your pocket book.

若要繁殖狗狗，繁殖者自己要先建以概念：每次繁殖狗時首要的考慮是
該如何做才對這個品種最好，而不是你的荷包會進多少帳。

3) For this you need to be a serious student of the
breed and devote years of your life to it. No "in one day,
out the other".

為了做到這點，你必須投注長年時間認真學習所有和此品種相關的知識，
不可以一天打漁，三天曬網。

4) As a beginner you need to engross yourself in the breed
as much as possible and ideally find a suitable mentor.

在身為繁殖者的初期，你必須盡可能地了解這個品種的狗。另外，最好是
能夠找到一位賢明的繁殖者來指導你。

5) In order to be a serious breeder, you must show and
compete.

要成為一位認真的繁殖者，你必須主動的參加狗展、以及各項的競賽。

6) You need to keep track of all puppies you produce,
whether pet or show, to know how your breeding program is
working.

每一個賣出去的小狗，你都必須要有聯絡方法來找到這些小狗。不論寵物
用途或者是參展，這些都是讓你知道，你的繁殖計劃如何進行。

7) All pet dogs need to go on a spay/neuter contract.

所有的做為寵物用途的狗狗，都需要建立結紮的合約。

All show puppies need to go on a contract that will not
allow breeding unless the dog lives up to the quality intended and
passes all health checks and certification necessary for that breed.
If a prospective breeder does not want to do this, then I am sorry
but they will have to mess with someone else's dogs not mine!

所有將用於狗展上的幼犬都必須有契約約束，除非這隻狗的品質合乎這個
品種的標準，而且通過了這個品種所需的各項健檢及認証，否則不可進行
繁殖；若是這位將來可能繁殖牠的買主並不想簽下這個合約，那我只能說
很遺憾！他可以去亂搞別人的狗，別想用我的狗來亂搞。

9) Every breeder owes to the breed and to themselves to
be involved with rescue.

所有的繁殖者為了對所繁殖的品種及對自已有所交代，都有參與狗狗救
援的義務。

10) Every breeder should be prepared to take any dog back
for whatever reason. If they do not have the space, then they
need to be prepared to make other arrangements. But take back
they must!

每一位繁殖者都需要有心理準備，那就是買主可能會退還小狗。若是繁殖
者沒有空間飼養，必須要馬上有所安排，但是他們一定要接受退還。
