  1. The Dog Breeding Industry

  2. Introduction Breeding and sale of dogs have skyrocketed to a high-level commercial venture in India. Due to an enormous demand for puppies of specific breeds from prospective pet parents, thousands of breeders and pet shops have cropped up in this multi-crore industry. As a result, breeders have started backyard breeding in the most unhygienic conditions, cruelly exploiting the animals for easy money. Let’s walk through some legal steps taken by the government of India to check illegal breeding, ethical breeding as well as the consequences.

  3. Ethical Breeding Breeding in India is not illegal but there are laws in place to keep the industry in check. Breeders involved in ethical breeding need to keep the following in mind- • Any female dog can be bred only once in a particular season. • Female dogs should have a veterinary health certificate before breeding. • Breeding must be done only from sound pack of good temperament.

  4. Government Issued Directives The Animal Welfare Board of India has a set a few guidelines and rules for breeders and the sale of animals. A few of them are- • All persons wishing to breed dogs for commercial gain must register themselves with the Animal Welfare Board of India. • All licensed pet shops shall procure pups from licensed and registered breeders only. • There are four breeding techniques out of which only outbreeding and line breeding are allowed in India. • Inbreeding and Incest Breeding are banned in India. • A puppy should not be sold before 45 days.

  5. Dangers of Inbreeding Inbreeding is the process by which animals are mated with very close relatives, sometimes within their litter itself. This is one of the most popular ways of dog breeding among breeders, even though it is banned in India. This method makes dogs vulnerable to genetic defects and diseases. Due to such breeding, there is a significantly higher chance of developing various different congenital conditions including problems with the eyes, hips, spine and breathing.

  6. DO’s while adopting a pet Pet parents should do an in-depth research before bringing the pet home. Gain some basic knowledge about the lifespan, dietary needs and breed-related issues before making the big decision. Make sure that the breeder is licensed or registered with the state Animal Welfare Board and also ask for the medical report of both the mother and the puppy. Be informed about the various vaccinations which should be provided to your dog.
