that's the RSPCA's viewpoint - here's the Kennel Club's Kennel Club Response to The Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare’s (APGAW) Report - The Kennel Club amazing how the same thing can be interpreted by two differing sides !

here's an interesting quote direct from the report which the R---A have ommited to mention

" However the real problem lies with the fact that many breeders are not registered at all and puppy farmers are also unlikely to be registered which means they are breeding with no regulation at all. while APGAW has focussed it's attention on dogs registered with the kC it is not possible to ignore the issue of puppy farming and irresponsible breeding particularly as it has been clear that many welfare organisations, veterinary professionals and pet owners beleieve they are reponsible for a large proportion of the dogs who suffer from poor welfare breeding "
