I have signed petitions like this before to stop puppy farming, this was when all the hoo-har was on about this going on in West Wales, if this practice is on the increase again then it does want stopping. But the Kennel Club I would not give them the time of day, its about time they did some constructive for animal welfare, no wonder we have inbred line bred dogs that would look not look out of place in a zoo, a law to themselves, no wonder Mars stopped putting their money behind the Kennel club,

I've seen enough on the T.V. to realise this must be stopped.  On a trip to the Gower peninsula, every other farm gate had adverts for puppies of various breeds nailed to it.

But why do you need to know my email address?       Cheers,     Tony.

I will do this but I agree with Mr Smith about the kennel club- see BBC4  tonight.
Thanks Betula

it's a 'supply vs demand' issue, folk need to stop buying them.

I bought my westie from what I  thought was a private breeder.

After a few weeks I realised I had a very oddly behaved puppy.After a lifetime of being around dogs I knew all was not well.I found out from an organisation I can not mention that I had bought my girl from a suspected
seller on behalf of puppy farms.

I have stuck with my animal because once owning her we feel she is our responsibility to care for her but it has not been an easy ride.

I know the kennel club has not been great in many aspects but it is good  to see they are doing something positive .

I will never again buy a pedigree puppy.

Dogs trust monitor a dogs behaviour before rehoming and I will stick to them.

It is a petition sent to the Government and I guess it it is one of their requirements.

If you get over 100,000 signatures it could be debated in the house of commons so please spread the link folks.......x
