Breeding Dogs & Cat Standard - Draft document


Recommended Posts

Has anybody read this, I know what they are trying to do but this is not the way to go.  This will effect most rescue groups who won't be able to operate in the future as anybody that sells dogs and cats will be under this  regulation.

 

The only ones that will be able to operate will be the big commercial breeders which is not what I believe we want. 

 

Yes we need to stop the backyard breeders but do we want ones that have over 100 dogs and all they do is breed them with no love or attention.

 

As well as doing the rescue for Jack Russell's I also breed and show but probably only have a litter every two or three years, how am I suppose to do what they require,

there will be no more pure breed breeders who test for faults in their breeding, which these big commercial ones don't.

 

Why would any breeder need to build a separate room with concrete rooms away from their home to have their puppies when like myself my girl lives inside and sleeps in my bedroom and that is also where she has her puppies so I can look after all of them, why would I put her outside in a separate room.

We're moving closer and closer to nice shiny legalised puppy farms. :mad

Agree.  It's all designed by people who know nothing about how socialisation is developed in puppies.  By being close to humans from birth & by also having a mother dog who is well socialised.  So  'farm buildings' being central to their accommodation, is going in the opposite direction.  This legislation is all about making money by breeding puppies in commercially 'attractive' numbers.   Yep.... that's a puppy farm in a nutshell. 

 

Yet US research showed puppies developed much better & had fewer behavioural/adjustment problems, if they came from more homely settings where they were close to people & everyday domestic life.
