Thanks to all our supporters, this page is to highlight their very important comments

TV Vet Marc Abraham is the joint founder of thepet.net and a campaigner against puppy farming.  We thank him for his support
"The consequences of irresponsible breeding of dogs or cats can be extremely serious: unhealthy pets suffering from painful medical or surgical conditions and/or devastating behavioural issues too. The cruel, barbaric puppy farming industry needs to be stopped asap by stopping the demand for these poorly pets; by helping to educate the public about how best to choose an ethical and responsible breeder. My own anti-puppy farming campaign has helped to raise awareness of this irresponsible mass-breeding of dogs purely for profit and I welcome ethicalbreeding.com as an important starting point for anyone considering buying a puppy or kitten"

Our thanks to Peter Purves for his lovely quote of support:
“It is so important that people do not buy pets from puppy farmers or from irresponsible breeders. The Kennel Club has its Accredited Breeders register which is pointing the way, and it seems to me that www.ethicalbreeding.com  is a most useful addition to the growing list of organisations that will help people to avoid the pitfalls of buying from the wrong place. Well done to Debbie Connolly (www.safepets.co.uk )  who has set up this most valuable site.”

"Firstly, as a practising small animal veterinary surgeon I think that this is a really good idea and would be prepared to support the project as far as I am able.

Secondly as Joint Chairman of Conservative Animal Welfare I think it fair to say that this scheme shows vision and potentially has the ability to make a significant difference to the way in which we can improve the standards of puppy breeding in the UK.

There will always be those who will have nothing to do with any scheme such as this and there will always be potential owners who "buy a puppy to save it from being treated badly" which is precisely why they go to a puppy farm breeder.

'Supporting and promoting ethical breeding practices is vital for the health and wellbeing of our canine companion. Puppy farming is an abuse of our loyal canine companions who deserve to be brought up in healthy and loving environments, and I wholeheartedly support the ethical breeding campaign for encouraging all new dog owners to think about where their new pets are coming from.'
