Thinking of getting a puppy? The Breeding and Sale of Dogs (Welfare) Act 1999 was introduced to give local authorities more powers to license dog breeders and help stamp out puppy farming. All new licensed breeders have to be inspected by a vet and a local authority officer. There are strict penalties for cruel breeders who break the law. Help stamp out the cruel practice of puppy farming by buying your puppy only from a licensed breeder or a small-scale, local breeder. Or why not give a home to a puppy from your local RSPCA or other rescue centre? Puppy search Make sure you see a puppy with its mother when you buy from a breeder or commercial premises - this will give you a good idea of background, health, eventual size and temperament. It should stay with its mother for at least eight weeks. Contact the RSPCA or the local council environmental health department if you are concerned about conditions at premises where puppies are sold. Try a local small breeder who could have healthy puppies bred in a home environment - your local council dog warden, vet or animal welfare officer may be able to help. Don't buy from a large, unlicensed breeding establishment - ask to see a copy of the breeder's licence. Don't be tempted by advertisements offering lots of different breeds for sale - this is a tactic sometimes used by dealers selling puppies bought from unlicensed puppy farms. Never buy a puppy from someone at a car boot sale, tabletop sale or in a car park, and avoid buying puppies from pet shops - you may be supporting the illegal and cruel practice of puppy farming.
