I understand that membership in the English Setter Association of America is a pledge of sportsmanship, ethics, and responsibility and that as a member:

* I am the caretaker not only of the individual dog but of the reputation and welfare of the breed as a whole.

* It is my responsibility to educate the public and to explain, define, and protect the breed.

* It is incumbent upon me to set the example of each dog being individually cherished but only the physically and temperamentally sound being bred.

* I accept the premise that if I breed a litter those dogs' welfare is my responsibility throughout their lifetime.

* My conduct and actions in the sport should reflect positively upon the Association and other fanciers of the breed.

* I will volunteer my time and talents in Association works and endeavors.

* I will encourage the novice, guide the beginner, and school the student while myself seeking to exhibit the friendly sportsmanship that befits this gentlemen's breed.
