No, get a cuddly toy To be the envy of my friends………………………….. No, get a 5 carat diamond ring To put in my handbag and take shopping ………………………… No, get a Chihuahua To be my running companion …………………….. No, get a Dalmation To guard my home and business ……………………….. No, get a Rottweiler To have a dog to groom and clip …………………………… No, get a Poodle To have a loyal, steadfast & courageous friend ……. … Yes, a Bulldog is perfect To have a wonderful family pet who loves the children …………. Yes, a Bulldog is perfect To have a quirky, funny dog who loves me unconditionally………. Yes, a Bulldog is perfect To have an active, fun-loving companion ………. Yes, a Bulldog is perfect To have a dog who makes the most revolting smells ………….. Yes, a Bulldog is great at this too! YES, I REALLY DO WANT A BULLDOG, BUT WHERE TO START? Start with the Bulldog Breed Standard. This is the written ‘blue print’ for the breed, and is the template all serious breeders use to breed the best Bulldogs that they can. It can be found on the Bulldog Breed Council website: www.bulldogbreedcouncil.co.uk Get as much information as possible, but be very careful where you get that information—there are lots of face- book sites and websites giving information which is inaccurate,. The Bulldog Breed Council has loads of infor- mation leaflets and details of the Health scheme, The Kennel Club is also a great source of sensible, trustworthy advice. Go to the shows and have a look at the Bulldogs being exhibited, and decide what you like best, and then chat to the breeders. Be honest and explain why you want a Bulldog. You can put your name on breeders’ lists for a puppy, but it may well be quite a wait, as many show breeders only breed one or two litters a year, but this is a brilliant option if you are prepared to wait. If, having made your decision to have a puppy, you just cant wait any longer, go to the Kennel Club website, where, in their ‘find a puppy’ section, you will discover puppies which have been KC registered. This also gives the status of the breeder under the KC Accredited Breeder Scheme. This means that the breeder has been in- spected by the Kennel Club and has met their criteria for hygiene and animal welfare. Be very careful at this stage, because although the Assured Breeder Scheme is designed to weed out the import- ers of pups and the puppy farmers, the Kennel Club is still registering poorly bred dogs and dogs which are not proper Bulldog colours. These are called CNR (colour not recognised) . There are various internet platforms where you will find puppies advertised, but again, be very careful if answering these adverts. Make sure you know exactly what a well bred Bulldog puppy looks like by visiting as many litters as you can. Do not buy a puppy from anybody you don’t trust, or where the conditions are poor or if the pups look sickly. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees when buying a puppy, so go to people who are doing their very best to breed healthy Bulldogs who will live long, healthy lives. Remember: it is the puppy buyers who drive the market. How to get a healthy Bulldog Always go to a responsible breeder who prioritises health, such as a Kennel Club Assured Breeder The Kennel Club website has a ‘find a puppy’ facility, where you can find Assured Breeders, or a breeder that is participating in the Bulldog Breed Council’s Health and Conformation scheme and the Kennel Club and Universi- ty of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading Scheme. Speak to a breed club Secretary for advice. Contact details are on the www.bulldogbreedcouncil.co.uk website Avoid buying a puppy online. Always see the puppy with its mother in its breeding environment, and observe the condition, health and vigour of the mother. You should do proper research before getting a dog to ensure you are choosing a breed that is the right fit for your lifestyle. You should familiarise yourself with health problems and the associated costs – both financial and emotional – when choosing a breed. Seeing mum (and dad if possible) is an important part of buying any puppy, but especially so for brachycephalic (short nosed) dogs, as it may tell you something about the future health of your puppy.

  • 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.
