As rare animal breeders, our little flock does more than just produce animals. With us lies the responsibility of producing an animal which is not only beautifully colored and pleasing to look at, but more importantly one that is healthy and makes a wonderful pet. Inspired by the British Columbia Purebred Dog Breeders Associations Code Of Ethics, I used their wisdom as a standard to achieve and maintain for my Code of Ethics. 

I recognize that as a breeder I have a responsibility to protect and preserve Micro Mini Pigs, Miniature Zebu cattle, and Olde English Babydoll Southdown Sheep, and to ensure the welfare for the animals I sell, produce, breed, and own.  I therefore subscribe to the following Code of Ethics.
