There is a lot of work going on to try and stop these puppy farms/bad breeders, you can help by signing the petitions and downloading the posters from many of the forums that are working hard to bring in new legislation's to stop barbaric breeding;

I am actually shocked at breeders who you think are top quality breeders, I think it’s about time that us the pet owner that picks up the pieces; when their breeding program goes wrong starts speaking out! we are only giving a customer review of the service we were given from our purchaser !!

I am sick and tired of reading my breeder is still breeding bad lines and with Bad Hip Scores/no Scores no papers, I am no longer prepared to sit back and let these BYB yes BYB get away with riping us pet owners off, I am appalled and ashamed off a lot; actually thousands of breeders some accredited breeders claiming they are doing everything correctly, you know who you are ..............

A lot of pet owners who have defected/not fit for purpose; do not know there rights regarding the sale of goods act, and it seems that a lot of breeders do not know when they sell any puppy they are bound by The Sale of Goods Act some breeders will try to excuse breeding from poor quality, dog and bitches that are not health tested or that carry hereditary problem by saying they are not doing it as a business but "only to keep a puppy", "only occasionally" or "only for pets". The Law of the land and in particular the Trades Description Act, quite rightly does not discriminate between backyard breeders, casual breeders and breeders, it requires everyone who sells puppies to do so within The Law and that means in cold, clinical terms producing goods (puppies) of merchandisable quality, goods that are fit for the purpose for which they are sold, ignorance is no defence in law. Breeders do not want to hear they have faulty goods so they try to scare you, by telling you to be quiet, why because 400/500/600 £££££+ plus per dog, they charge, one complaint could do a lot of damage.

some good sites that are doing everything to stop bad breeders
