The Dog Breeding Act: summary

So what would be achieved by this proposed (fanciful) piece of legislation.

1. No breeder would be allow to produce more than four litters a year
2. Veterinary professionals would register on pregnant bitches they come across (the onus will also be on the owner to do so)
3. All puppies produced must be registered and micro chipped
4. Breeders will be legally responsible to ensure owners are responsible
5. Breeders must accept any unwanted pups back within four weeks of sale
6. The advertisement of any dog will be restricted only to those dogs registered, and those breeders licenses, or to animal/dog charities and rescues
7. The ban on the advertised sale of dogs would extend to all forms of advertising in the UK
8. The medium used to advertise the sale of dogs will be required to ensure the license and registration is in place and current
9. A free to access online database of licensed breeders and registered puppies will be provided by the government
