Dog Breeding Establishments

If you own 5 or more breeding bitches and they produce 5 or more litters per year OR your premises are used solely for the purpose of breeding dogs then you require a Licence issued under the Breeding of Dogs Act 1973 and the Breeding of Dogs (Welfare) Act 1999. This Licence is only obtainable from your Local Authority.

Prior to granting a licence, the premises where the dogs are to be kept will initially be inspected by an authorised veterinary inspector. The cost of this inspection is to be borne by the applicant. Thereafter, the annual inspection will be made by an officer authorised by the Local Authority.

The Licence Fees are as follows:
Grant - £152.00
Renewal - £105.00

The licences are valid for 12 months.

A Dog Breeding Establishment Licence application form is also available to download.
