The Kennel Club

The Kennel Club, recognised as the most prominent organisation in the UK, is passionately dedicated to the protection and improvement of all aspects of canine health, welfare, and training. Their primary objective is to generate a positive influence on dogs and their owners. They offer an unmatched depth of knowledge, experience, and guidance on purchasing puppies to dog owners and professionals in the canine field.

Operating the most comprehensive registration database for pedigree dogs in the UK, The Kennel Club also maintains an activity register for crossbreed dogs. They are also responsible for managing the Petlog database, a leading service in the UK for reuniting microchipped animals with their owners.

The Kennel Club has received accreditation from the UK Accreditation Service (UKAS), enabling them to certify members of The Kennel Club Assured Breeders. This scheme is unique in the UK, focusing on monitoring breeders with the primary goal of safeguarding the welfare of puppies and breeding bitches. This accreditation underscores their steadfast commitment to canine welfare, ensuring that breeders maintain the highest standards of care and ethical practices.
