Pup Aid 2010
Pup Aid 2010, an event which helps to raise awareness about the cruel industry of puppy farms, is due to take place at Stanmer House, near Brighton on Sunday 19 September.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Communications Director, said: “The Kennel Club is actively campaigning to stop puppy farming and PUP AID is a great event which will certainly help to raise awareness of this cruel industry.
 
“Puppy farmers’ breeding methods are morally and ethically opposed to those used by responsible breeders, who care about their dogs’ health and welfare first and foremost. It is essential that people understand the importance of buying from a responsible and reputable breeder, such as a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder, rather than buying from a puppy farm - which only fuels this cruel trade and can lead to heartache if the pup falls sick further down the line.”
 
Commenting on PUP AID, Kennel Club Veterinary Adviser, Marc Abraham, said: “The aim of PUP AID is to help dog buyers everywhere be aware of the cruelty involved in this side of dog breeding, and hopefully reduce the demand for pups bred in this way. My hope is that the event will help put a stop to puppy farming in this country.”
