New web tool to help select puppy
Dog Advisory Council launches tool

The Dog Advisory Council has launched a new web tool to help prospective dog owners select the right breed of puppy for their lifestyle.

The guide provides basic information on the factors which need to be considered before purchasing a puppy, such as how to identify a legitimate breeder. Breed specific information is also given, as well as continual support for new puppy owners.

The Dog Advisory Council, chaired by vet Professor Sheila Crispin, aims to encourage and facilitate improvements in the welfare issues associated with dog breeding, by providing independent expert advice to governments and other stakeholders.
