This week Anna is joined by Bill Lambert from The Kennel Club talking about London's biggest dog event - Discover Dogs 15-16 October at the Excel Centre. It's a doggy dream day out for all dog lovers, especially those aspiring to bring a dog into your life. As a fun weekend highlighting a host of dog activities like Agility,  we chat about how over 150 dog breeds will be showcased by their officiados, experts in every breed. It gives people the chance to get up close to the dogs they may have thought would be a perfect match. But may realise that a bark-less Basenji may be more suitable for their experience and lifestyle than a Bassett Hound. There's the return of the hugely popular ‘Cuddle Corner', which allows visitors to relax, and de-stress by stroking a host of different puppies and dogs. Apart from an opportunity to enjoy retail therapy galore, there's a chance to listen to experts, and watch Medical Detection Dogs in action. Plus there's the penultimate Scruffts competition, with the finale at Crufts in March 2023. And for those football fans there's the Woofball world Cup where Barkelona and Woof Hound United compete in the main arena. There's also plenty on the British Vulnerable Breeds, those that for some odd reason have fallen out of popularity. That includes A DOG'S LIFE co-host, Mr Binks, an English Toy Terrier, who is technically more rare than a giant panda!Find out more at discoverdogs.org.ukInstagram @thekennelclubukJoin the Dog's Life Club on Patreon.

PUP AID is a fun dog show organised by a group of dog-loving volunteers who believe the only way to end the cruel practice of puppy farming is to create as much public awareness about the issue as possible; by inviting celebrities, bands, artists, and of course the public and their dogs to all come together and make some noise on international Puppy Farming Awareness Day. PUP AID's aim is simply to educate every member of the British public about the correct way to get a dog, either by adopting a rescue dog from any of the overflowing rescue centres in the UK, or visiting a responsible breeder where you will always see the puppy interacting with it's mother. It's hoped that this widespread education will create enough awareness to stop people buying puppies from pet-shops or online from dealers and as a direct result reduce the demand for these poorly pups and finally end this evil practice of puppy farming for good.

Puppy Awareness Week 1-7 September 2015 PAW aims to make sure that puppies live healthy, happy lives with suitable owners by spreading the 'be puppy aware' message. Being puppy aware involves making sure you know which dog and breed is right for your lifestyle so that you can care for it for life, and making sure you can separate responsible breeders from puppy farmers. Every year the Kennel Club holds a Puppy Awareness Week (PAW) to spread this message.

PAW aims to make sure that puppies live healthy, happy lives with suitable owners. Make sure that you get the right dog for your lifestyle and that you buy from a reputable breeder STOP puppy farming Puppies from puppy farms are bred with no regard for their health and well-being and are kept in appalling, unsanitary conditions. Kennel Club research from 2013 shows that as many as one in three may have unknowingly bought from a puppy farm, after sourcing their puppy online, on social media, in pet shops or through free newspaper ads - outlets often used by puppy farmers. One in five pups bought online or in pet shops need long-term veterinary care or die before six months old*. *Research conducted in August 2013 by Atomik, on behalf of the Kennel Club, and is based on 2,026 responses. Make sure that you don't buy from a puppy farmer, or from an ill-informed and unknowledgeable breeder, who has not taken all of the steps to give your puppy the best chance in life. The Kennel Club recommends that 'ABS is Best' and always advises people to go to a Kennel Club Assured Breeder. The Kennel Club has United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) accreditation to certify breeders on the scheme and it is the only one in the UK that sets standards for and inspects dog breeders

This very special day will once again give you, the dog-loving public, the golden opportunity to help raise awareness about the UK's cruel puppy farming trade by attending this amazing celebrity judged fun dog show. Puppy farming is the mass commercial production of puppies purely for profit and without a thought for the welfare or happiness of the pup, breeding bitch or stud dogs. Breeding dogs and pups are usually kept in horrific dark conditions, totally unsocialized and riddled with both infectious and inbred often incurable diseases. These poorly pups are then sold en masse to pet shops, online or from free newspaper ads and usually die soon after reaching their new home. If they do make it they usually require thousands of pounds worth of medical, surgical and/or behavioural treatment to fix them causing even more pain, suffering and heartbeak for both pups and families. In order to stop puppy farming we must simply stop the demand. By raising awareness through events like PUP AID and promoting rescue dog adoption and responsible breeding practices it has to end eventually. Please join me at PUP AID 2014 and help to speed up that process. Some dog-loving celebs and bands have already confirmed and once again there'll be trade stands, amazing food, doggy displays and loads of fun for all the family to all raise awareness of this important animal welfare issue.

The Kennel Club co-ordinates Scruffts heats throughout the UK during 2014. The winners from each heat will be invited to Discover Dogs 2014 at Earls Court 1, London in November for the Class Finals. Winners of the six classes at Discover Dogs will now go on to Crufts 2015 (5 - 8 March 2015) at The NEC, Birmingham, where they will compete for the overall Scruffts title

Puppy farming is the mass commercial production of puppies purely for profit and without any thought for the health, welfare, or happiness of either the pup or breeding dogs. Kept in horrific conditions, then sent long distances cross country and sold en masse - usually poorly and riddled with painful disease - to pet shops, websites, and private dealers; these puppies often die within days of arriving in their new home. According to a recent Dogs Trust survey, 95% of dog owners say they wouldn't buy a dog from a puppy farm yet as many as 900,000 people may have done so without even knowing. TV Vet Marc Abraham says: 'Most dog owners say they'd never buy a dog from a puppy farm, yet a large number will due to common scams especially by private dealers. This is exactly why Pup Aid have launched this e-petition. We need 100,000 signatures from the nation's animal lovers to make the Government listen and hopefully end this needless and preventable suffering for good.' 'The Government must ban the sale of young puppies and kittens unless their mothers are present; as an absent mother is a clear compromise of both health and welfare for these animals and often a big clue indicating puppy farming.' Pup Aid believes prospective puppy and kitten owners should always: Ask "Where's Mum?" Insist on seeing the puppy/kitten and mother interacting Be aware of scams e.g. fake or no mother present at all Pup Aid aims to educate and raise awareness about the cruel trade of puppy and kitten farming helping the British public to only buy from reputable and honourable breeders e.g. Kennel Club Assured Breeders, or consider adopting a dog from a local rescue centre. Pup Aid hope their campaign and e-petition will curb the demand and supply for farmed puppies and kittens and help tackle the horrific practice of puppy and kitten farming in the UK.

Susan Emerson, aged 51, from West Sussex said: “My husband and I bought our first puppy, Millie, in June 2012, which should have been an exciting and happy time. We heard through a friend that a breeder was selling Shi Tzu puppies in our nearby town, Crawley, so we booked an appointment. We first saw her at four weeks old at and took her home at eight weeks, as is recommended, and she seemed to be a healthy puppy. “Looking back on it now, there were early warning signs. She wasn’t very active when we saw her and we weren’t given any paperwork. We were also aware that the breeder had not had her vet checked. When we got her home things started to go badly wrong. She wasn’t very active and didn’t have much of an appetite, but as she was our first puppy we assumed this must be normal. “When we took her to the vets for her first vaccinations he discovered that she had major heart problems, including a leaky valve and a hole in her enlarged heart. We were absolutely devastated as we had already bonded and said we would do all we could for her, knowing that it would be a short life. I did text the breeder to inform him about the problems that Millie had, but he pleaded ignorance and told me that she had been fine when she was with them. It also became apparent as Millie grew older she was not a true Shi Tzu but a Shi Tzu/Bichon Frise cross. We did everything we could to give Millie happiness in her short life but in the end the blood in her heart started to shunt in the opposite direction making it hard for her to breathe and we saw that she was losing the energy to live, so we had to make the heart-breaking decision to put her to sleep, just after her first birthday. “I would never buy a puppy in this way again and I would never want anybody to go through what we went through. We now have a healthy, happy Lhasa Apso called Jasmine, which we bought from a Kennel Club Assured Breeder, and the experience could not have been more different. We were given reams of paperwork with detailed authentic information about her parentage, the vaccinations she had been given, the health tests the parents had been given and how to care for her. At least we know that Jasmine has been given the best possible chance of a healthy life, something that poor Millie was deprived of.”

Lisa Gentle, 35, from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, said: “My best friend and I were living together and we bought a Bichon Frise puppy called Toby for my two-year old son who is on the autism spectrum, as we thought it would be good for him. As it turns out, it became a horrific experience that scarred him for a long time.

Training - The Kennel Club is putting owners in the dog house this Puppy Awareness Week (12th – 18th September) as it reveals the shocking statistic that almost three quarters of dog owners have never taken their dog to training classes. Research by the Kennel Club has shown that over 72 percent of people have never taken their dog to a training class, despite the fact that around 50 percent of dog owners said that they have been embarrassed by their dog in public. The results released today also show that one in five dog owners admit that they are not always in control when they take their dog for a walk. The Kennel Club is running its first ever Puppy Awareness Week this week which aims to educate people about responsible dog ownership. The organisation wants potential puppy owners to think carefully whether they have the time and money to look after a dog properly before getting one and this includes taking their dog to dog training classes.

Pet Insurance - Puppy Awareness Week (PAW) is helping people to ensure that they do not line the pockets of rogue traders and irresponsible breeders and go to a responsible breeder instead. The Kennel Club’s inaugural National Puppy Awareness Week (PAW) is a celebration of the joy that puppies bring to our lives and gives potential and existing puppy owners all of the information they need to ensure that the relationship they have with their new family member is a happy and fulfilling one. Puppy Awareness week will culminate in Pup Aid, a boutique music festival, celebrity judged fun dog show and family day out at Stanmer House in Brighton on 18 September 2011. This is arranged by TV vet and author, Marc Abraham and is supported by the Kennel Club.

A central part of Puppy Awareness Week (PAW) is helping people to ensure that they do not line the pockets of rogue traders and irresponsible breeders and go to a responsible breeder instead. Every year thousands of puppies fall ill or die as a result of being bred by puppy farmers who care more about profit than the puppies they breed. Thousands of breeding bitches are left psychologically and physically scarred after being forced to churn out litter after litter, and later abandoned when they are no longer of use. Too often it is animal lovers who help to fuel this cruel trade; as people unwittingly buy from puppy farmers without even realising that they are doing so. PAW will help people to understand how to avoid falling prey to puppy farmers and the correct way to get a dog, whether a pedigree puppy or a rescue dog. If you are thinking of getting a puppy now or in the future, please use the information on this website, to help ensure that you don’t fall into the hands of a puppy farmer
