  • The Kennel Club (Maab0030)
    Written evidence submitted by The Kennel Club (maab0030) 1. The Kennel Club is the largest organisation in the United Kingdom (UK) devoted to dog health, welfare and training. We run the UK’s largest registration database for pedigree dogs and an activity register for crossbreeds, and are the only organisation accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to certify dog breeders under our Assured Breeders scheme. As such, we represent the voices of dog breeders, exhibitors and owners across the UK. Executive summary 2. Since the end of the Brexit transition period, there have been significant changes to pet travel from Great Britain (GB) to Northern Ireland (NI), despite commitments made by the Government before this Committee last year. These changes will, in practice, significantly restrict and potentially stop the legitimate puppy trade between puppy buyers and breeders on both sides of the Irish Sea. Compared to breeders and purchasers in GB, those in NI will ultimately be the most likely to suffer as a result of restrictions. As well as this, dog owners and those involved in canine activities travelling from GB to NI will be required to comply with financially burdensome and unnecessarily onerous new rules and checks, once the education phase ends in June 2021. 3. The Kennel Club believes that the new pet travel border between GB and NI must be removed as swiftly as possible, with a return to free movement of dogs across the whole of the UK. What impact will the new UK-EU agreement have on moving animals across the Irish border and between GB and the EU/NI? 4.
