🐾🐕🐕‍🦺🐩🦮 Happy World Animal Day!
Today, we celebrate our faithful companions, especially dogs, who truly embody the spirit of loyalty and love. May each of you enjoy a joyful celebration with your beloved dogs and all the wonderful animals in your lives!

Late Jane Goodall having spent a lifetime reminding us that every species plays a vital role in our world — pulling from her own experience observing chimpanzees and her academic background in ethology, or the science of animal behavior, she credit dogs as her beloved animals, for teaching so many of us that animals have personalities, thoughts, and feelings!
"Dogs - she said- are truly remarkable beings that teach us loyalty and unconditional love”

📎 About breeding Pedigree Dogs
by FCI - Federation Cynologique Internationale

Have you wondered what breeding pedigree dogs is all about? It starts with knowing the basics and mechanics of what responsible breeding is all about.

Here is Part 1, of some things to look for when visiting the breeder to see the pups. You must visit the home of the breeder and never ever buy a puppy without having seen the home environment the puppy was raised in. Responsible breeders will not have an issue with you visiting, as it also gives them the opportunity to get to know you and see if you are suited to owning one of their pups.

For more information, check out this FCI e-booklet, which aims to give clear and thorough knowledge on Why you should choose an NCO breeder and other many more valuable aspects regarding this critical topic.

Published in 4 languages, more information about this topic is available from the complete booklet via the following links:
