It's set to clamp down on third party sales - where a puppy is sold by someone other than the person who reared it
A bill aimed at tackling cruel treatment by dog breeders will get approval from Cabinet this morning.
It's set to clamp down on third party sales - where a puppy is sold by someone other than the person who reared it - while giving owners greater confidence when buying a dog.
There will also be restrictions on litter numbers, a minimum and maximum age for breeding, and a minimum age at which a pup can be sold.
Agriculture Minister and Kildare South TD Martin Heydon will tell the Cabinet this will come with greater enforcement and punishments on puppy farms in a bid to improve animal welfare.
