  • Animals Asia Foundation Dog Breeding - Position Paper
    Animals Asia Foundation Dog Breeding - Position Paper February 2010 1 Dog Breeding - Position Paper Feb 2010: Each year across the world many millions of unowned and unwanted dogs are destroyed due to irresponsible dog breeders and owners. Animals Asia supports the de- sexing of all dogs and cats to reduce the number of unwanted companion animals and also supports the adoption of unowned dogs and cats. We are against the breeding and sale of dogs and cats from dog breeders and pet shops. Animals Asia is particularly opposed to individuals operating so-called ‘puppy farms’, where dogs are bred in appalling conditions purely for profit with a total disregard for the health and welfare of both the adult dogs and puppies. Adult bitches are kept in small pens with little or no access to daylight, no social contact with other dogs or other humans and no space to exercise or play. They are bred continuously until they become too old and are then discarded. Puppies bred under such intensive conditions often suffer from genetic abnormalities and other health-related issues. Puppies are frequently removed from their mothers when they are too young, leading to further potential health and behavioural issues. Puppies bred in such intensive conditions are often sold through newspaper adverts, via the internet, at pet shops or in pet superstores. The general promotion of purebred dogs and the desire to breed animals for specific physical and behavioural traits by many dog breeders has lead to significant health and welfare problems in many breeds. In addition to this the emphasis on pure breeds can cause or exacerbate disrespect for mixed breed animals within a community.

  • The Kennel Club Breed Health Improvement Strategy: a Step-By-Step Guide Improvement Strategy Improvement
    BREED HEALTH THE KENNEL CLUB BREED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY WWW.THEKENNELCLUB.ORG.UK/DOGHEALTH BREED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE 2 Welcome WELCOME TO YOUR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY TOOLKIT This collection of toolkits is a resource intended to help Breed Health Coordinators maintain, develop and promote the health of their breed.. The Kennel Club recognise that Breed Health Coordinators are enthusiastic and motivated about canine health, but may not have the specialist knowledge or tools required to carry out some tasks. We hope these toolkits will be a good resource for current Breed Health Coordinators, and help individuals, who are new to the role, make a positive start. By using these toolkits, Breed Health Coordinators can expect to: • Accelerate the pace of improvement and depth of understanding of the health of their breed • Develop a step-by-step approach for creating a health plan • Implement a health survey to collect health information and to monitor progress The initial tool kit is divided into two sections, a Health Strategy Guide and a Breed Health Survey Toolkit. The Health Strategy Guide is a practical approach to developing, assessing, and monitoring a health plan specific to your breed. Every breed can benefit from a Health Improvement Strategy as a way to prevent health issues from developing, tackle a problem if it does arise, and assess the good practices already being undertaken. The Breed Health Survey Toolkit is a step by step guide to developing the right surveys for your breed. By carrying out good health surveys, you will be able to provide the evidence of how healthy your breed is and which areas, if any, require improvement.

  • (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013
    Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013 Puppy mills are large-scale canine commercial breeding establishments (CBEs) where puppies are produced in large numbers and dogs are kept in inhumane conditions for commercial sale. That is, the dog breeding facility keeps so many dogs that the needs of the breeding dogs and puppies are not met sufficiently to provide a reasonably decent quality of life for all of the animals. Although the conditions in CBEs vary widely in quality, puppy mills are typically operated with an emphasis on profits over animal welfare and the dogs often live in substandard conditions, housed for their entire reproductive lives in cages or runs, provided little to no positive human interaction or other forms of environmental enrichment, and minimal to no veterinary care. This report reviews the following: • What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? • How are Puppies from Puppy Mills Sold? • How Many Puppies Come from Puppy Mills? • Mill Environment Impact on Dog Health • Common Ailments of Puppies from Puppy Mills • Impact of Resale Process on Puppy Health • How Puppy Buyers are Affected • Impact on Animal Shelters and Other Organizations • Conclusion • References What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? Emphasis on Quantity not Quality Puppy mills focus on quantity rather than quality. That is, they concentrate on producing as many puppies as possible to maximize profits, impacting the quality of the puppies that are produced. This leads to extreme overcrowding, with some CBEs housing 1,000+ dogs (often referred to as “mega mills”). When dogs live in overcrowded conditions, diseases spread easily.

  • The Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie)
    THE SHETLAND SHEEPDOG (SHELTIE) UNIQUE ORIGIN: Shelties, as they are affectionately called, hail from the rugged Shetland Islands, which lie between Scotland and Norway. These islands are also home to the Shetland Ponies and Shetland Sheep, all diminutive animals. Shetland Sheepdogs were bred by crossing the Border Collie, the rough Collie, and various other breeds. By 1700, the Sheltie was completely developed. They were developed to herd the sheep flocks of the Shetland Islands, and also to protect them from birds of prey, such as eagles. You can still catch Shelties chasing birds. Today, the Sheltie is one of the most popular dogs in America. PERSONALITY: Shetland Sheepdogs are hardy, loyal, obedient, gentle, loving, and extremely trainable. They are incredibly intelligent, ranking 6th out of 132 different dog breeds according to Dr. Stanley Coren, an animal intelligence expert, which means that they understand new commands with less than 5 repetitions and obey first commands 95% of the time. This dog needs a job with plenty of exercise or else they might invent their own entertainment. They are also very in tune to their owner’s thoughts and moods. Shelties are devoted family pets and are especially fond of children. They love attention and love to learn. They thrive in an environment where they’re given playtime, training, and loving attention. They will love you in return tenfold. APPEARANCE: Shelties usually weigh between 12 to 18 pounds and stand approximately 12 to 15 inches tall. Their build is trim with a light frame. They are incredibly beautiful dogs and are known for their beautiful coat.

  • ABCA Code of Ethics and Best Practices
    ABCA Code of Ethics and Best Practices INTRODUCTION PURPOSE The goal of these recommendations is to protect, preserve, and improve the breed and its future, as well as to protect individual dogs. These recommendations are established as a voluntary standard for members and as a guide for non‐members. CONDUCT GENERAL Members of the ABCA have an obligation to put the welfare of the breed above personal gain and refrain from activities that would be detrimental to the best interests of the breed, the individual dogs, and the ABCA. STANDARD OF CARE Dogs should be provided with all nutrition, exercise, socialization, vaccinations, de‐worming, external parasite control, and appropriate veterinary treatment necessary to provide optimal mental and physical well being. EDUCATION Breeders should educate themselves with regard to known health problems within the breed and should understand the principles of genetics and know how to apply them. HEALTH RESEARCH Members are encouraged to participate in and support health studies for the breed. ADVERTISING Advertising of puppies, adults or stud service should be honest and not in any way misrepresentative, fraudulent, or misleading. CONTRACTS Written contracts are strongly recommended for all transactions such as sales, guarantees, co‐ownerships, breeding rights agreements, female leases, stud services, etc. BREEDING PRACTICES QUALITY The Border Collie stands alone in its exceptional ability to work livestock. That is the purpose for which the breed was developed, and the ABCA defines the breed by this working ability. The main goal of any Border ABCA_Best_Practices_Sep2015.docx September 2015 Page 1 of 4 ABCA Code of Ethics and Best Practices Collie breeder should be to produce sound, useful, working dogs.
