LOOKING FOR A PUPPY?
NEWS
8 August 2021
Regrettably we have temporarily closed the puppy register due to lack of puppies during the ongoing pandemic and the large increase in new enquiries.
Ann Moon – Puppy List co-ordinator
DEFRA has the following advice if you are thinking of purchasing a puppy:
Pushing up the price of puppies is only leading to their theft and will eventually bring tighter restrictions to hobby breeders.
Puppies should be priced at a sensible level and not £1,000's and should be bred to benefit the breed and not for profit.
In line with this, the Sussex Spaniel Association recommends that the current price of Sussex Spaniel puppies should be £900-£1200.
This recommendation will be reviewed as appropriate
If you are looking for a puppy and wish to go on the Waiting List please provide your phone number and address, to the contact details below:
Please Note: the Association, Officers and Committee of the Association do not, nor can it be implied,
carry out any enquiries or investigations about Breeders or about any puppies,
they may subsequently breed. Nor do they accept responsibility or liability for the use of any stud dog detailed on the SSA Stud Dog List.
The Applicant should carry out all the normal customary checks that a prudent
puppy buyer would carry out before deciding to proceed.
The Applicant is advised to consult a Veterinary Surgeon to discuss
this Breed and any problems it may have before purchase.
Please note that this is an Information Service only and no representation or
warranty is intended whatsoever.
The SSA Health Sub-Committee strongly recommends that breeders planning to breed should ensure that their dogs and bitches are hip-scored under the Kennel Club/British Veterinary Association Hip-scoring Scheme before proceeding.
Please read the British Veterinary Association information about the Scheme, and their "Guide to Dog Owners" on their website:
"SO YOU WANT A SUSSEX SPANIEL" is a comprehensive leaflet for those new to the breed and particularly for those interested in purchasing a puppy. Full of information listing the plus and minus sides of owning a Sussex Spaniel.
We recommend that you visit one of our Shows or Events (see the News Page)
You will be able to meet Sussex Owners, Breeders and their Sussex Spaniels and learn more about the breed.
