Breeding Survey!
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 5:33 pm
Cross posted from FB and other forum - please take part if you have a dog(s), breed the occasional litter, have a stud dog...
You may be aware that there are moves afoot to implement legislative changes in this country, which will affect the way we all keep and breed our dogs.
Fair minded people would agree that we should always evaluate what we are doing, and look to make improvements where we can, and certainly where necessary. However, the appointed steering committee for this legislation are not necessarily experts in this field, and therefore could in all innocence; take a hammer to crack a walnut and implement changes that simply prove too onerous for many well run kennels.
At this crucial ‘information gathering stage' there is still time to have an input, and we thought it would be constructive to offer our help now, with a view to influencing the final document.
In order to achieve this, we really need the help and views from a very broad selection of dog owners. From the home with 2 or 3 dogs to the commercial kennel establishment. So please ‘forward’ this to as many people you know who have the interest of dogs at heart. But most importantly, please take a few minutes to complete the attached survey. I assure you that there are no trick questions, right or wrong answers and you can remain anonymous if you wish.
Please Follow the link: And email and Crosspost/Share on facebook all your breeder friends
It goes with out saying, that those of us who love and value our dogs would be delighted to see poor animal husbandry and in particular, puppy farming eradicated. But we must ensure that any changes implemented are workable for rest of us.
