Thousands of breeders will now have to rely on vets to perform this service. We believe this is not ideal as some vets are not supportive of dog breeding and will not perform the procedure. Also vets are not always available to undertake this procedure.
Some breeders want to be able to perform this procedure themselves, so they don't have to put their livelihood in the hands of another person. We ask that the Government creates a routes for lay people to be trained and certified to undertake this procedure.
