Germany’s national kennel club has expressed concern over a new draft law that aims to ban the breeding of dogs with skeletal anomalies, potentially endangering beloved breeds like the dachshund. The proposed legislation seeks to address issues of “torture breeding” and could impact various dog breeds prone to health problems. Despite arguments from dog enthusiasts and breeders, including a petition with over 15,000 signatures, the German government asserts that the regulation is not about banning specific breeds but preventing breeding practices that cause long-term suffering to animals.
