Apply for a dog breeding licence
If you breed and sell dogs as a business, either from home or from commercial premises, you must have a licence. We will call upon the services of an approved vet for new applications. New regulations have changed the requirements for licensing.
Read page 2 for more information about when a licence is needed.
Visit the Canine and Feline Sector group for information on licence conditions.
