Pedigree dog theft in Mauritius

Pedigree dog theft is on the hike in Mauritius and it is now a primary objective of the club to try to discourage the purchase of pedigree dogs from any breeder who has not registered with the FCC.

So what can you do:
• Spread the word and try to discourage supporting these dog farms. One Visit to one of these places will be enough to convince anyone who loves animals that this is inhumane and demonstrates human greed at it most brutal.
• Register your dog and have his/her pedigree confirmed.
• Please familiarize yourself with the procedures of the FCC. http://www.fcc.org.mu/en/online_forms.html
• Certify all pedigree matings with the FCC.
• Micro-chip your dog.
• If you have a litter, we encourage you to have a compulsory club membership sign up to any of the new owners.
• We also encourage you to request that the puppy is certified by a judge at the relevant age and registered with the club as a pedigree. The rules of the FCC will then protect the dogs from abusive breeding programs.
