Kennel Club Accredited Breeders Petition

Apologies if this has already been posted but has everyone seen it?

http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/24731.html

Will it ever pass?

I for one am all for it but it's a shame it's only just happening when the KC Accredited Breeder Scheme has been running since 2004!

Humm - don't hold that much faith in the scheme I'm afraid, and as much as I agree with health testing and such I get SO fed up at giving the KC money for everything I would like to do with my dogs.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean but unfortunately I think they are the only ones who can get this enforced.

Why aren't kennel inspections included?

But they can't enforce it....

I have had two people duped (for want of a better word) by accredited breeders. Both sold puppies who were older than first stared. Both were first time owners and had done vereything right - contacted vets/KC etc and been pointed towards these Accredited breeders. THey wer sold puppies as 10 and 12 weeks respectively, when the paperwork came through the pups were 18weeks old and had no jabs.

No idea, but they should be.

I agree, Louise.

Pidge.....Over breeding and the likes. Totally unethical.

So then surely the KC accreditation should be up for review too? Does this sort of thing ever get reported I wonder?

Thankfully the KC's 'stock' is currently somewhat lower than Icelandic banks so their p1sspoor Accredited Breeder Scam is unlikely to be embraced by government.

It's little more than a puppyfarmer's charter. Woefully inadequate.
