New Resources for Puppy Seekers

Post by zeta1454 »

Following the closure of the Assured Breeder Scheme due at the end of December 2024, the U.K. Kennel Club have been expanding the information available to puppy seekers to try and guide them through the process of finding a reputable breeder and getting a healthy well bred puppy. This does put more responsibility on those looking for a puppy to spend the time to fully research before committing to purchase and ensure the breeder has the health and welfare of their dogs and puppies as a top priority. However the resources are there on the Kennel Club site and it is well worth checking them out.

I have put some links below to some of the relevant sections of the Kennel Club website although there are many more available and I do encourage those with an interest in their dog’s health and welfare or who are interested in finding out more about a breed and especially anyone looking for a puppy, to explore the site as there is a wealth of information available there :)
