Poor breeding practices affect the physical and emotional health of your pet dogs

Use your buying power to demand better health and welfare

Our Aims

To promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing and supporting initiatives to improve dog welfare related to:

a) genetic and breed related health, breeding, rearing and selling practices; and

b) to inform the general public about irresponsible dog breeding in order to make them aware of the potential impact on their dogs' health and welfare
We are a Collaborative Partner of the International Partnership for Dogs - IPFD

Promoting the breeding of sound, healthy dogs.

Together we can improve the welfare standards of dog breeding in the UK.

Achieving Our Aims by:
