WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR OUR DOGS? - April 29th 2012 Newark
How much freedom will we have to exercise them? Will they be banned from many of our favourite areas? Is micro chipping the best way forward? How should we deal with loose dogs on a walk? Is there enough information on dogs and the law? Is training getting too complicated? What can be done about indiscriminate breeding? How can we keep our dogs happy without a ten mile run every day? Dogs are in the pounds every week with their lives hanging in the balance while rescues are too full to take them in. Puppies and older dogs are being sold on the internet without any homes checks or references being produced.
We care enough to put this event on – please care enough to come and show your support
