When is a license required?
A license is not always required to breed or sell a puppy that has been bred by the advertiser and the requirements vary depending on the local council authority where the advertiser is located.
Any account placing 3 separate adverts in 12 months has to be registered as a breeder / professional seller on Pets4Homes, but it is only if the seller advertises 3 separate litters in the rolling 12 month period that the seller would be asked to contact the local council and discuss their licensing requirements if they do not already hold a license.
Our guides
Please see our resources which may guide you on whether a seller needs a license:
Important: If you believe that a person may require a license, we are asking that enquiries are made directly to the local authority for the advertiser who we are able to liaise with to ensure that all requirements are met.
