What We Believe
Our vision is that through educating the general public with its Puppy Contract, puppy farming will become policed through public expectations and will allow responsible and ethical breeding of dogs. The Puppy Contract should become a fundamental part of every buyer’s purchasing process to ensure they make educated decisions about the seller they are dealing with. It is only when buyers choose to purchase from reputable sellers, will we reduce, and hopefully someday, eliminate unethical breeding of dogs.
