If you breed and selling dogs you must have a licence.
This does not have to be your main business or occupation, it could be your hobby.
Applying for a dog breeding licence

When we receive your application and fee we will arrange for an inspection of the premises resulting in a report upon the suitability of the application.
Conditions on the licence will include:
- bitches are not mated if less than one year old
- bitches do not give birth to more than six litters of puppies
- bitches do not give birth to puppies before the end of the period of twelve months beginning with the day on which they last gave birth to puppies
- accurate records in a form prescribed by regulations are kept at the premises and made available for inspection.
Licensed premises will also be subject to unannounced inspections.
