I hope you and your families are staying well and coping with the current challenges. I am also interested in encouraging and facilitating the mentoring of newer Dogs Queensland breeders by the more experienced breeders in our ranks. This is just one good point of differentiation between our breeders and someone with no breed background who spends 5 minutes online getting a BIN number and says they are a registered breeder. In a recent radio interview I was able to emphasise the experience of our breeders and the high level of care and socialisation our puppies receive. I have a real problem with puppy farming and the sale of puppies in pet shops. Although our breeders must make the welfare of the puppy a primary obligation, I am of the view that we should only be selling our puppies directly to well screened individuals and families. Under our rule 26 our breeders have a limited right to sell dogs and puppies to “resellers”. Lucy’s Law (click on button below) will have the effect of stopping the sale of puppies in pet shops. On the subject of puppies and breeding I was very happy to read this latest article in the April edition of the UK Kennel Gazette.
