National Dog Breeder Day – 25th November
The National Dog Breeder Convention finishes up with a celebration of ethical and responsible breeders on National Dog Breeder Day.
Dog breeders have been hiding in the shadows long enough, feeling ashamed to declare who we are and what we do. As ethical and responsible dog breeders, we work incredibly hard and put our all into the dogs and puppies we share our lives with.
Public opinion of dog breeders may be tarnished with bad press about breeders who do not put their dog’s and puppies’ well-being first.
But we know there are a considerable number of breeders, dedicated to raising well-planned litters that are given top-notch care every step of the journey.
Ethical Dog Breeders Unite!
When we champion the work, dedication and skill behind ethical and responsible breeding, we pave the way for transformational change.
It is through highlighting and celebrating responsible dog breeders that we’ll raise the bar and reduce the number of dogs who end up in rescue.
Plus, we’ll educate the general public on what to look for in a good breeder, so they can make well-informed choices.

Have you heard?
In a year or two from now, owners will be asking ‘are you qualified to breed?’
And that’ll be sweet music to our ears. Finally there is a way to get the knowledge you need and a hallmark of excellence to showcase your professionalism.
You heard it here first!
