Pingback: Imported Puppy Fraud – Little Rascals Puppies Review
Why are boarding kennels lumped in with these puppy farmers.. i see one mans name on that list that breeds pedigree dogs and is NOT a puppy farmer.. Its a shame to see this genuine man included with the rest of the scum
LikeLike
Because they are all licensed by their local authority. This list is a record of those licences
LikeLike
because most boarding kennels are also show breeders/exhibitors so will have pedigree bitches on the property capable for breeding even if they breed rarely
LikeLike
Surely these people listed are just those that are licensed to breed dogs from the national database (publicly available data). Are they not a subset of the full list of breeders in Ireland including pedigree and non pedigree breeders. It appears someone created this list by removing the pedigree breeders? What is so inhumane about the majority of these breeders and their practices and how do these differ from pedigree breeders. The Licenses given (50 bitches) is a limit set, not the actual amount of bitches on premises. Is stand to be corrected..
LikeLike
No pedigree breeders with the required minimum number of breeding age bitches have been removed, if they are on the supplied council list they have been published. There was not, to our knowledge, any publicly available list of licensed breeders in the Republic, most of the councils required Freedom of Information requests to get their list and some were reluctant to oblige. As to “inhumane” practices, every one of these licensed breeders is supposed to be operating to the minimum standards applied by inspection. We do not know in many cases how thorough these inspections are. Many breeders have the maximum number of bitches licensed for breeding noted on their entry if that is what the council stated.

How can this continue?

It continues because the law does not properly protect our companion animals neither by design nor practise. In this year a new survey will be done to show how much commercial breeding is allowed by law in these isles to be published on completion. A survey of commercial breeding carried out outside the law is not possible.

Can you publish updated list. I am sure they have more breeding dogs than they state.
LikeLike
You may be right but until the Councils are fully back in operation we cannot verify data and therefore cannot update as we wanted to in 2020. An update starts in February and takes all the way through to December with long waits for reply, occasionally successful trips to the information Tribunal to get Council to fulfil their obligation to provide the public with information. Maybe it will be possible in 2021.
