Canine Care Certified™: Verified Humane Breeding Standards
Canine Care Certified outlines standards for the humane care and handling as well as the certification process, which is conducted by our auditing team, Validus.
What Is Canine Care Certified™?
Canine Care Certified™ is a voluntary breeder certification program that emphasizes the importance of science-based practices in the breeding of dogs. It plays a crucial role in enhancing canine welfare and quality assurance by establishing CCC certification standards that breeders must meet. Our relationship with this program allows us to support breeders in their journey towards achieving the Purdue dog breeder certification.
We are dedicated to promoting responsible breeding practices through the Canine Care Certified™ (CCC) program developed by Dr. Candace Croney. This program is designed to uphold the highest canine breeder standards, ensuring that all participating breeders provide exceptional care. The partnership between our Validus auditing team and Dr. Candace Croney allows us to conduct thorough audits, confirming compliance with the canine welfare certification requirements.
