Wales Animal Health and Welfare Framework Group (WAHWFG) – Report of Recommendations to the Welsh Government

In the Report the WAHWFG finds that the current Regulations for Dog Breeding in Wales are inadequate. The key recommendations include improved training for local authority inspectors of breeding establishments to enable more effective enforcement or regulations; a Registration system for all dog breeders; improved traceability of dogs through a national microchip database; an improved ratio in dog breeding establishments of one human to 10 adult dogs; a ban on the third party sale of dogs.
