When you visit breeders make sure the puppies have been well socialised and ensure you read and fully understand any contract before you sign it. A reputable breeder will have no objections to explaining the terms and answering questions. When collecting your puppy you should receive the Registration certificate, diet sheet, worming schedule and a Pedigree. Puppies should leave the breeder with enough food for the first week and insured for 6 weeks. We strongly recommend you book a check up with your vet to discuss inoculations and the future flea/worming regime. Any breeder included on’ The Otterhound Club Breeders List’ agree to abide to the club’s Code of Ethics. A copy of this can be obtained from the Otterhound club secretary Hilary Gilpen (See also contact us). The Kennel Club also has a code of ethics for breeders and details of both this and their Accredited Breeder Scheme can be found at www.thekennelclub.org.uk. |
