Closed petition Create new requirements for breeding and selling dogs

We want: breeding licenses for all puppy sales; proof of vaccinations for puppy, mother & father; annual visit by authorities; a limit on 2 litters in the lifetime of each breeding dog (2 years apart and then spayed); logging details of pregnant dogs; reporting of all related income.

More details

Currently someone only needs a breeder’s license if they have more than 5 litters a year and sell the puppies. 4 litters a year of 5 puppies each, sold at £1,900 (average cost of a puppy during the pandemic) is a yearly income of £38,000. This money is often not declared to HMRC.
