PFMA attended The Associate Parliamentary Group on Animal Welfare at the House of Lords for an update on dog breeding.
The meeting was filmed for a Channel Four documentary on dog breeding.
It was a really interesting meeting, which, as well as emphasising the importance of responsible dog breeding with health rather than looks as the main priority, emphasised the need for and value of animal health and welfare organisations working collectively towards shared objectives.
