Please sign this petition they are trying to get the UK law changed so that:
Breeders must make use of health screening schemes, relevant to their specific breed, on any dog being bred from. Dogs to be bred from must also be permanently identified by a DNA profile, microchip or tattoo. This petition is not asking you to join the Accredited Breeder Scheme – we are asking you to support the basic principles behind it as a way of improving the health and welfare of dogs in the UK and eventually put puppy farmers out of business.
If, with your assistance, we can gain government support for this proposal, it would mean that anyone breeding a dog would have to follow responsible standards in order to breed dogs. Anyone not following these standards would then fall outside of the law.
