• Anyone “in the business” of breeding and selling dogs for commercial gain needs to be licensed regardless of the number of litters they have in a 12 month period. *
• England and Scotland - If in a 12 month period their dogs give birth to 5 litters or more (Changing to 3 litters or more in England from 1st October 2018), regardless of whether they are in the business of breeding and selling dogs.
• Wales - If in a 12 month period their dogs give birth to 3 litters or more, regardless of whether they are in the business of breeding and selling dogs.

* The decision as to whether you are classed as “in the business” of breeding and selling dogs for commercial gain is decided by your local council and the requirements vary between each local council authority. You can use the Find Your Local Council website page to check what the requirements are within your local authority as well as the contact details needed to discuss anything further with them.
