Mastiff Association Members Code of Ethics
Joining the Mastiff Association makes you part of a large group of mastiff lovers with many years of keeping and breeding mastiffs. To re-iterate our ethics, the primary consideration of the Mastiff Association is the development, well-being and safety of the Mastiff. As a member you also get our members starter pack which includes, amongst other things, the latest edition of our acclaimed Mastiff Association Handbook. You will also receive three annual Newsletters (February, May & September) containing news, show reviews, topical articles, satirical mastiff art and much much more (you could even submit your own article). In addition members also get reduced entry fees per dog at our two annual shows and access to other annual events such as our 2005 Educational Event prior to our AGM. You can now join via the on-line application forms, linked below, contact the MA Secretary or visit one of our shows and talk to one of our Committee members or Officers.
