The Kennel Club’s Accredited Breeder Scheme was set up to provide a framework fort encouraging breeders to produce healthy, well-adjusted puppies.
The Kennel Club has laid down a series of requirements that breeders must follow, in order for them to participate in the scheme. People who buy puppies from KC Accredited Breeders gain the assurance that the breeder has undertaken to follow basic good breeding practices by: a). Registering all breeding stock with the Kennel Club b). Providing hygienic whelping facilities c). Using the breed health schemes eg, DNA testing; Hip Dysplasia; and eye screening for PRA
and CEA. d). Providing suitable socialisation opportunities for the puppies e). Providing written advice to new owners, on continuing socialisation, training, exercise, diet,
worming and vaccination programmes f). Providing pre- and after-sales advice for the new puppy owner g). Providing the new owner with a Puppy Sales Contract, with explanation on health issues and
any Kennel Club endorsements that may have been placed on a puppy by the breeder h). Providing help with re-homing of the dog, if necessary |
