THE SIBERIAN HUSKY CLUB OF THE TWIN CITIES, INC. 

Picture
The club was founded in 1972 and is a diverse group of Siberian fanciers with a variety of interests in the breed including but not limited to: showing, sledding, racing, obedience, rescue, barn hunt, scent work, therapy dog work, and just plain loving our beautiful breed. There is not a regularly set time and place for meetings, but rather, each meeting date is chosen the month or two before, so that as many members as possible are able to attend. Dates of local events are taken into consideration. Meetings are usually held in and around the Twin Cities Metropolitan area.

Programs or demonstrations of educational value are part of the meeting whenever possible. The Club puts on an annual Specialty Show in the spring, which is open to the public. An Eye Clinic is held annually to make it convenient and economical for members and non-members alike to have their dog's eyes examined for hereditary eye disease.
​
Membership is open to owners and prospective owners of Siberian Huskies who agree to abide by the Club's Constitution, By-Laws, and Code of Ethics, and the rules of the American Kennel Club. The Club follows the Code of Ethics of the Siberian Husky Club of America; the National breed club. The Club is a member of theMinnesota Purebred Dog Breeders Association.

Code of Ethics

1. I will accept a high ethical standard of breeding.
​

2. I will follow the rules of good sportsmanship in all Siberian Husky competition and activities.

3. I will fully explain to all prospective Siberian Husky purchasers the disadvantages as well as the advantages of owning a Siberian Husky.

4. I will attempt to help and befriend novice exhibitors, racers, and breeders.

5. I will keep well informed in the field of genetics and will work persistently to eliminate hereditary defects from the breed.

6. I will, before entering any breeding agreement, carefully analyze the conformation and the pedigrees of the prospective sire and dam and, keeping the breed standard clearly in mind, refuse the mating if in my opinion it will not be in the best interest of the breed. If I deny stud service I will fully explain my reasons to the owner of the bitch.

7. I will refuse to deal with dog wholesalers or to sell puppies or dogs to pet shops, and I will include in all stud contracts an agreement to be signed by the owner of the bitch that no puppies resulting from the mating will be wholesaled or sold to pet shops.

8. Dogs must be maintained with their safety and good health in mind at all times, including adequate and appropriate attention, socialization, grooming, feeding, veterinary care, housing, and exercise.
