The Dog Breeding Industry

The Dog Breeding Industry
2
Introduction

• Breeding and sale of dogs have skyrocketed to a
  high-level commercial venture in India. Due to an
  enormous demand for puppies of specific breeds
  from prospective pet parents, thousands of
  breeders and pet shops have cropped up in this
  multi-crore industry.
• As a result, breeders have started backyard
  breeding in the most unhygienic conditions,
  cruelly exploiting the animals for easy money.
  Lets walk through some legal steps taken by the
  government of India to check illegal breeding,
  ethical breeding as well as the consequences.

Ethical Breeding

• Breeding in India is not illegal but there are
  laws in place to keep the industry in check.
  Breeders involved in ethical breeding need to
  keep the following in mind-
• Any female dog can be bred only once in a
  particular season.
• Female dogs should have a veterinary health
  certificate before breeding.
• Breeding must be done only from sound pack of
  good temperament.

Government Issued Directives

• The Animal Welfare Board of India has a set a few
  guidelines and rules for breeders and the sale of
  animals. A few of them are-
• All persons wishing to breed dogs for commercial
  gain must register themselves with the Animal
  Welfare Board of India.
• All licensed pet shops shall procure pups from
  licensed and registered breeders only.
• There are four breeding techniques out of which
  only outbreeding and line breeding are allowed in
  India.
• Inbreeding and Incest Breeding are banned in
  India.
• A puppy should not be sold before 45 days.

Dangers of Inbreeding

• Inbreeding is the process by which animals are
  mated with very close relatives, sometimes within
  their litter itself. This is one of the most
  popular ways of dog breeding among breeders, even
  though it is banned in India.
• This method makes dogs vulnerable to genetic
  defects and diseases. Due to such breeding, there
  is a significantly higher chance of developing
  various different congenital conditions including
  problems with the eyes, hips, spine and
  breathing.

DOs while adopting a pet

• Pet parents should do an in-depth research before
  bringing the pet home. Gain some basic knowledge
  about the lifespan, dietary needs and
  breed-related issues before making the big
  decision.
• Make sure that the breeder is licensed or
  registered with the state Animal Welfare Board
  and also ask for the medical report of both the
  mother and the puppy. Be informed about the
  various vaccinations which should be provided to
  your dog.
