Regular COMPULSORY random INSPECTION of Dog Breeding Establishments.

The Dog Breeding Establishments Act, 2010, which came into force in Ireland at the beginning of 2012,
outlines strict animal welfare regulations for anyone keeping six or more female dogs, which are more than
six months old and are capable of breeding.

Yet flying in the face of legislation, ‘Puppy Farmers’ are granted licenses. Rather than through compulsory random inspection empowering local authorities to simply withdraw a licence, in line with legislation.
