Over the last 60 years, the INKC has promoted the popularity of dogs, along with guidance for their proper breeding, rearing and training.
There was a time when pedigree puppies — home-bred or bred by scrupulous breeders — could meet the demand. But now – largely due to the ill-advised fashion among vets to needlessly and indiscriminately neuter good specimens brought to them for routine treatment by worthy individuals – the burgeoning demand has become a bonanza for puppy-mills and wheeler-dealers, producing and selling mediocre specimens or downright cross-breeds, often unhealthy. READ HERE how buyers should beware, and insist on paying only for puppies with genuine Kennel Club Registration Certificate, preferably directly from reputed breeders only.
