Breeding dogs at scale is legal if the breeder is registered with the council. Breeding without registering is an offence. If you think you've found one, tell the council for that area.
Anyone keeping six or more female dogs over six months old that can breed must register with their county council as a dog breeding establishment. Selling a puppy under eight weeks old is illegal.
Ask for the dog warden or veterinary section. For cruelty or neglect, ring the NSPCA on 1800 26 46 25.
Anyone with three or more breeding bitches who breeds, advertises or supplies three or more litters a year needs a dog breeding licence from their council.
Ask for the dog warden or animal welfare team. The council numbers are in the cruelty panel above, under Northern Ireland.
