Breeder survey reveals why we do it!

Petplan recently surveyed a total of 181 UK dog breeders, who provided answers on a range of topics, including why they breed, their dogs, owner information and pet welfare. This report highlights the lead facts and statistics.

Report highlights showed that

• Breeders consider the job far more a labour of love than an income generator
• The majority of bitches breed a single litter of puppies each year
• On average, each litter contains six puppies, but some breeds produce more
• The demand for breeds in general has remained relatively constant. However, demand for specific breeds change as more owners want unusual breeds
• Media coverage of particular breeds also plays a big role in demand
• New owners are willing to travel quite a distance to collect a puppy
• The average puppy sells for around £650, but can cost more than £950
• The vast majority of breeders have heard of the Animal Welfare Act and understand its implications

Of the 40 leading breeds, the five most popular are Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, German Shepherd and Boxer. The Rottweiler and Yorkshire Terrier also appear in the top 10.

Petplan is the largest provider of animal health insurance in the world. Established more than 30 years ago, it is part of Allianz Insurance, one of the largest general insurers in the UK.
