NLDA Ethics Guidelines

All approved breeders are required to sign and submit the Lacy Breeder Code of Ethics with their application.

We encourage all prospective owners to use our ethical breeder checklist when choosing a Lacy puppy, especially if you are considering breeders who aren't approved by the NLDA.

Unethical behavior will not be tolerated by the NLDA. Complaints regarding unethical conduct are taken seriously and will be addressed in a prompt manner. If you have any concerns, please contact us immediately at nlda@NationalLacyDog.org or (830) 220-4747.
