Dogs: Breeding
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will take steps to ensure that pedigree dogs are free from genetic disease and exaggerated conformations before they are allowed to breed; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
I consider that the recent establishment of an independent Dog Advisory Council is a positive step towards protecting the health of all dogs. The council will address breeding malpractices and it is premature to speculate at this stage what actions Government may be asked to take to promote higher breed standards.
