ETHICAL BREEDER AWARD -
posted 7.7.2009
We have just received notification of an ethical breeder award and are now very proudly displaying the logo on our website.
At Pets4Homes we have several criteria for determining whether a breeder is considered ethical or not. These criteria are listed below :
* Should only breed to improve the Shar Pei breed. Meaning that the breeder only breeds from dogs which display excellent characteristics of the breed.
* Make use of relevant health screening schemes on all breeding stock. These schemes include DNA testing, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and inherited eye conditions etc....
* Care for the puppies correctly before finding them new caring homes, this includes making sure the puppies are weaned correctly and that the puppies are socialised.
* Provide a reasonable aftercare advice to the new owners via telephone or email.
* If necessary, you should commit to help with the re-homing of a dog, for whatever reason, throughout the dog's lifetime, if the new owner asks you to.'
