Dogs Trust approves breeding Standard
Hopeful for future for dog welfare

The Dogs Trust has commented on the recently introduced advisory Council's Standard on the welfare issues of dog breeding, which gives formal recommendations to dog breeders and provides minimum standard to provide good health and welfare for all dogs involved in breeding.

Dogs Trust CEO, Clarissa Baldwin, said: “Dogs Trust welcomes all attempts to improve dog breeding. A standard is essential in order to improve the future welfare of all dogs from all types of breeder. This step in the right direction is the first of many that need to be taken on this subject. Dogs Trust would like to see one Standard supported by all and is pleased that the Advisory Council have acknowledged this as a living document.
 
“Unfortunately, there are an increasing number of dogs that arrive at Dogs Trust rehoming centres as a result of a lack of understanding of that breed, inadequate socialisation and/or health issues due to poor breeding practices. Hopefully through documents such as the Standard in combination with the BVA AWF Puppy Contract and the recently devised Puppy Plan, that we have worked with The Kennel Club in creating, potential owners will be able to home fit, healthy, well socialised dogs from breeders that are welfare minded rather than profit focused.”
