to petsstoressellpuppymill... the KC is what we call the Kennel Club in the UK. We don't have to put UKKC or anything like that, it is simply known as being KC registered. The best way to find out is to call the kennel club (the number is on their website) or when you go to see the breeder they should have certification. FInd out how many litters they have produced this year. To be honest every breeder should be doing what the breeders on the accredited breeder scheme are doing, ie. health testing, Accredited breeders have to:~Follow Kennel Club policy regarding maximum age and number/frequency of litters ~Permanently identify breeding stock by DNA profile, microchip, or tattoo ~Make use of health screening schemes, relevant to their breed, on all breeding stock. These schemes include DNA testing, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and inherited eye conditions ~Socialise the puppies and provide written advice, in the Puppy Sales Wallet, on continuation of socialisation, exercise and future training ~Provide written advice, in the scheme Puppy Sales Wallet, on feeding and worming programmes ~Provide a written record, in the Puppy Sales Wallet, on the immunisation measures taken ~Provide reasonable post-sales telephone advice ~Inform buyers of the requirements and the recommendations that apply to Kennel Club Accredited Breeders as well as the existence of the complaints procedure ~Draw up a contract of sale for each puppy and provide a copy in the Puppy Sales Wallet. In addition there are a number of recommendationsAccredited Breeders are strongly encouraged to:~Make sure that whelping facilities accord with good practice ~The contract of sale should clearly lay out to the buyer the nature and details of any guarantee given (e.g. time limit) and/or any provisions for refund or return and replacement of puppy. If endorsements are being used the contract should also explain why these have been placed and under what circumstances they would be removed (if any). The contract should be signed and dated by both breeder and purchaser, showing that both have agreed to these terms ~Commit to help, if necessary, with the re-homing of a dog, for whatever reason, throughout the dog's lifetime ~Follow relevant breed health screening recommendations. Hope this helped, I got this from my information wallet I got from the Kennel Club. Many breeders consider the accredited breeder scheme to be just another way of the KC to make money since reputable breeders do these things anyways!
