Illegal puppy trade surges in Kent ready for Christmas

Post by Dinkum »

Please be careful when buying a puppy this Christmas, or at any other time, for that matter.

Over 100 puppies have been seized by the Dogs Trust in a week at Dover and Folkestone.

Remember:
  • Ask to see the mother and pup together
  • Visit the new pup, at its home, more than once and get paperwork before taking it home
  • Take new puppies for a veterinary health check immediately
  • Do not buy from anyone who can supply various breeds on demand
  • Do not to buy a puppy that looks underweight, or feel pressured into buying

I offer my advice freely, but I am not an expert, breeder, groomer or behaviourist. It is simply my experience of raising pups in a way that seems to make sense.
