This website is created and managed by the FCI. The FCI represents ninety eight pedigree dog organisations across the globe whose primary aim is to protect, preserve and promote the welfare and health of pedigree dogs. The greatness of these organisations should only be judged by their efforts and means adopted to achieve these aims, with the welfare and health of dogs at the fore of everything and above all else. The aims of this site is to give the most comprehensive and thorough source of information to all dog owners, both current and especially future ones. To dismiss myths and set the record straight about many issues related to dog care and ownership. To ally fears and to give realistic expectations of what dog ownership truly entails and the many responsibilities and challenges this involves. There is nothing worse than embarking on this journey ill prepared, or with no true notions of the actual responsibilities that come from this most rewarding relationship. This website is not here to sell puppies, but to try and ensure that no puppy is ever purchased for the wrong reason, from the wrong person, by the wrong person and ultimately ending up being abandoned or surrendered. Crucially to ensure that no dog should ever be mistreated, neglected or badly cared for, because of ignorance, or someone being inappropriately prepared for the responsibility of dog ownership. Whilst there is a dog to suit every owner, there isn’t always an owner to suit every dog. This is a lifetime commitment and is not one for everyone. Our aim and sole purpose in embarking on this project is to promote their welfare, wellbeing and health.
