Schnauzer lovers are making strides to support the bearded breed which are being damaged by illegal UK farm breeding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first Mad About Schnauzers<\/a> (MAS) Christmas jumper walk will be held on 7 December at Cosmeston Lakes, Penarth to raise money to support farm-bred Schnauzers across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community Mad About Schnauzers will walk together this winter to raise awareness surrounding the ill-health<\/gwmw> of Schnauzers, inflicted by \u201cirresponsible\u201d farm breeding in the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAS was founded in 2014 by Lisa Halford and Linda Sloan and is now a community of 7,000 Schnauzer lovers. Offering advice and support on caring for the breed that has endured an ill-quality of life due to confined and unclean living conditions and lack of veterinary attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly MAS offers guidance on the trauma that is inflicted by farm breeding. A leading sign of a dog’s trauma is its unwillingness to speak\/ bark. Constant reassurance; an abundance of affection and patience in trust gaining is vital in their recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need for funding is paramount. Illegal farm-breeding related calls in Wales has risen from 112 in 2008 to 452 in 2018. In England, officials received 4,357 calls in 2018 compared to just 890 in 2008.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joanna Booty, one of 10 leading organizers, highlighted the aims of MAS funding further explaining how public support helps shed light on the \u201cpoor\u201d health of farm-bred puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joanna said, \u201cThe Christmas jumper walks are first and foremost a fun and social event. But, we want to raise awareness about the cruelty of puppy farming and the damage it does.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever\u201d, Joanna added, \u201cPrevention is better than cure, the more people we can educate about the consequences of puppy farming, the fewer people will buy from puppy farms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
