IKC Announcement

April 1, 2021

|Announcement from IKC President

The need to inform and educate the general population regarding sourcing and introducing a puppy into a family environment has never been as urgent with the impact of Covid19.  So many unscrupulous breeders can be motivated by profit and have welfare/health considerations down the list on their agenda.

This puts the responsibility on those breeding, Veterinary, official Microchip Database holders and official Animal Welfare organisations to take responsibility. They must co-operate in a way that sends out a clear approach to sourcing, purchasing and maintaining a family pet in a legal, caring and structured way that benefits the puppy and the family.

With this in mind The Irish Kennel Club are delighted to announce their collaboration with Petbond.  Both establishments share a strong ethos for the welfare of dogs.  We see this as an opportunity to make our joint expertise available in a clear, informed and easily understood manner that is easily accessed. We look forward to working with Tim Kirby and his team and hope we can make dog owners, and particularly prospective owners, more informed and prepared.
