The Kennel Club and Bulldog Lovers
Voice Concern Over Mating Cradles
04-Feb-092009-02-04
The Kennel Club has joined forces with the Bulldog Breed Council to voice its
concern over the use of 'mating cradles' within the breed. Mating cradles have
been cited by their designers as the answer to the alleged problems which some
Bulldogs have in mating naturally without assistance.
The Kennel Club and Bulldog Breed Council share the belief that dogs of all breeds
should be able to mate as naturally as possible, and that there should be no
place for any mechanical device within this process.
We are aware of sites selling this commercial product on the internet, which feature
photos which show the bitch effectively strapped down by the device. This
cannot ever be seen to be in the positive interest of any dog involved.
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club spokesperson, said: "A caring and responsible breeder should
have no place for mating cradles in their breeding programme, whether for
Bulldogs or any other breed. By working alongside the Bulldog Breed Council to
highlight this issue, we aim to demonstrate the Kennel Club's commitment to
working together with responsible breeders to protect and improve the health
and welfare of all dogs."
Robin Searle, Chairman of the Bulldog Breed Council, added: "We are pleased that the
Kennel Club is supporting us in our bid to see mating cradles being deemed
unsuitable and unnecessary for any experienced and caring Bulldog breeder. We
also hope to educate the public to include making enquiries regarding the way
in which puppies are conceived an essential part of the checking process which
they undertake whenever they are considering buying a puppy."
