Request

For each of the last 5 calendar years please provide the number of new dog breeding licences the council has issued, how many breeding bitches there were per licence issued, the total number of licensed breeders operating in the area at the end of the year and the cost of a licence in each year. I’d appreciate it if you could put in the table below for ease.

YEAR	No. of new dog breeding licences issued	No. of breeding bitches per licence.	Total No. of licensed breeders operating	Cost of licence (£)
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019

Response

The Council only holds details of current licences. Licences that may have been issued in the last five years but then surrendered or lapsed will not be included as the information will have been deleted in line with our retention policy.
