Kennel Club research has revealed that as many as one in three people
may have unknowingly bought their puppy from a rogue breeder, as they
hide behind the anonymity of the internet or sell their puppies through
pet shops. These breeders, or puppy farmers, are in the trade purely for
the money and keep their puppies and breeding bitches in awful
conditions, not caring for their health of welfare.
The research has
also shown that more than half of puppy buyers do not know what
assurances and paperwork they are entitled to when they buy a puppy. The
Kennel Club's Stop the Suffering, Stop Puppy Farming film looks at the
perils of the puppy farming trade and tells puppy buyers how to avoid
falling into the hands of one of these rogue traders. The Kennel Club
gives advice about how to find a Kennel Club Assured Breeder, who agrees
to care for their dogs' health and welfare and how we can all work
together to stop the cruel puppy farming trade.
