Dog breeders urged to check licence requirements

Published: 18/02/2020

DOG breeders in Copeland are being urged to check they have a valid licence.

Copeland Council is advising that anyone breeding three or more litters and selling at least one puppy per litter, in a 12-month period, requires a dog breeding licence.

For those breeding one or two litters in a 12-month period and selling puppies, a licence may be required if they are deemed to be breeding dogs and advertising a business of selling dogs.

The amount of profit made from the sale of the animals also affects whether breeders are required to have a licence.
