Close-up of a fluffy white dog's eye with overlaid text that reads, ‘In the news: Puppy farming couple avoid jail and receive a ban of only five years on keeping animals’. There are also a Naturewatch Foundation Animal Welfare logo and a hashtag that says, ‘Stop Greed Breeding’.
We’re shocked by the light sentence handed to a couple convicted of serious neglect at a Scottish puppy farm.
In 2020, 33 dogs were found living in filthy conditions, many unwell and terrified. A 5-year ban and unpaid work isn’t justice.

1/2 🐾 32 dogs found in filthy shed acting as an illegal #CanineFertilityClinic in Edinburgh.
💔 Six were euthanised.
The men responsible got just fines, community service & a short dog ban. Far too light for the suffering caused.

A black and white puppy with sad eyes is sitting on a rough concrete floor, in front of other dogs. A bold headline states, “Only 68% of UK councils publish a dog breeding register in some form”. The image includes a Naturewatch Foundation animal welfare logo and a hashtag that says, “Stop Greed Breeding”.
🐶 We surveyed 391 councils in the UK and Ireland on dog breeder licensing and the results were concerning - some don't even know how many dogs their breeders are allowed to keep. 🤔
How does your council stack up? Check our map:

Sadly, 75-80% may arrive in our homes via unregulated or illegal sources. 🐶
It's time for urgent reform!

A brown dog with a sad face is looking at the camera, from behind the bars of a cage. A bold headline states, "NI's biggest dog breeder keeps 350 dogs on one site". The image includes a Naturewatch Foundation animal welfare logo and a hashtag that says, “Stop Greed Breeding”.
1/2 📢 The truth about the UK and Ireland’s dog breeding industry:
* Almost 26,000 adult female dogs are kept by licensed breeders.
* Just 15-20% of UK puppies come from LICENSED breeders.
* The biggest breeder in Northern Ireland keeps 350 adult dogs on ONE premises.
