A dog farm in dog farm in Singapore is a breeder that raises and sells puppies, usually with the intent to profit. These establishments are known to be a source of suffering for dogs.

They’re also known to cause severe behavioural problems and are prone to aggression, even towards their owners or other animals. As such, they should be avoided.

The pet industry is regulated by the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) to ensure that breeders follow a code of conduct to ensure animal welfare. They must comply with minimum standards, which include providing adequate space and ensuring that each puppy receives proper care.

This is a big issue in Singapore, where the demand for pedigree puppies is unabated. In January 2021, prices for some popular dog breeds had increased significantly to as much as S$12,800.

In addition, these dogs tend to be over-bred, which is a huge health risk for puppies. For example, if two dogs are too closely related, they’re more likely to have health problems like eye problems and joint issues.

When visiting a breeder’s premises, ask to see the dog’s ID and make sure it matches their address. This is because if they don’t have the correct paperwork, they could end up in jail.

You’ll also want to check if the place they live in has any closed off rooms or areas that aren’t in use for breeding. This is to prevent any other dogs from getting in and causing a disturbance, or to keep them safe.
