family were also interviewed by TV for the CBBC programme "Who Let The

Although we have been proud to be members of the Kennel Club's Assured Breeders Scheme in the past, we will be withdrawing from the scheme in 2014. This decision has been taken due to the planned extortionate increases in membership fees being charged by the Kennel Club for a scheme with no obvious benefits for the breeder. However, you may rest assured that the same high standard will continue to apply to all puppies bred by Sansorrella. In fact we go further than the Kennel Club requirements in the care and welfare of our dogs and rearing of our puppies, the information given in our comprehensive puppy packs and the after sale service we offer puppy buyers for the life of their dog. |

update from DEFRA concerning wolfdog hybrids
Wolf-dog hybrids and the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976
The
Act regulates the keeping of certain kinds of dangerous animals, except
animals kept in zoos, circuses or pet shops. Under the Act, licences are
required for the keeping of any animal which appears in the schedule to
the Act.
Wolf-dog hybrids are not a true species but rather a hybrid of the
domestic dog crossed with the wolf. Such animals are required to be
licensed under the Act. This is because the Schedule to the Act
states that any hybrid of a kind of mammal specified in the Schedule
must be licensed; a wolf is a mammal specified in the Schedule as it is
included in the listing of all species of Canidae (i.e. the dog family)
and does not fall within the specified exemptions to this listing,
unlike the Canis familiaris, the domestic dog (but not the Dingo,
Canis familiaris dingo), raccoon dogs and foxes.
In
addition, under the Act any animal with at least one parent as such a
hybrid requires a licence. However, the second generation
following a wolf/domestic dog hybrid does not require a licence if
neither of its parents are such a hybrid, as illustrated below.
* Licence required Therefore, taking the example of Czechoslovakian Wolf Dogs, Saarloos or similar “wolf-dog hybrids”, where an animal is third generation, or further removed from the original wolf content, a licence is not required under the Act.
If
owners are in doubt as to whether animals require licensing, then Defra
advises them to contact their local authority for advice.
The
Department and the RSPCA jointly funded research into the keeping of
wolf-dog hybrids and this was published in 2001.
The
contractors found that very few wolf-hybrids were kept and that
advertisements for wolf-dogs were generally misleading and had been
embellished to attract public interest and justify high prices. The
report also outlines some physical characteristics to help identify true
wolf-dog hybrids, which local authorities may find useful. The full
research report is available at
The Keeping of Wolf-Hybrids in Great
Britain
[PDF] (556 KB)
The
reference in the study to licences being required for breeds claiming
any amount of wolf content, however diluted, should now be viewed in
light of the information regarding hybrid generations detailed above.
Dangerous dogs are regulated under their own legislation. Further
information on dangerous dogs can be found on the
animal welfare pages.
