Dogs: Animal Breeding
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps she plans to take to address the effects on animal welfare of the breeding of pedigree dogs.
- Answer
-
I consider that the existing legislation on the breeding and sale of dogs provides adequate powers for local authorities to investigate allegations of poor welfare at dog breeding establishments. I also consider that the recent setting up of an independent Dog Advisory Council is a positive step towards protecting the health of pedigree dogs.
