To empower prospective buyers with all the information they need to avoid puppy farms and get a happy, healthy puppy from a responsible breeder, The Puppy Contract has relaunched with a new-look website and a step-by-step guide to the dos and don’ts of buying a puppy. The Puppy Contract is a one-stop guide that aims to offer prospective puppy owners all the information they need at their fingertips. The free, downloadable tool-kit has been developed by AWF and the RSPCA and is supported by leading UK animal welfare charities and professional bodies - BVA, Dogs Trust, PDSA, Universities Federation for Animal Welfare and Dog Breeding Reform Group - to help anyone buying or breeding puppies to do so responsibly. It consists of two parts: an information section about the puppy and its parents, to be filled out by the breeder, and a legally binding contract for sale between the buyer and the breeder. It can be used by any breeder and is not restricted to pedigree dogs or professional breeders. https://puppycontract.org.uk From an article in the British Veterinary Association (BVA) Newsroom 1st October 2018
