The Kennel Club's Assured Breeders scheme helps puppy buyers find breeders who follow good practices. We wish to guarantee a responsible and rewarding experience for everyone. Every single assured breeder will be inspected by The Kennel Club, a UKAS-accredited certification body, in order to ensure that the scheme is recognised as the essential quality seal for puppy breeding and buying.
