Mr. Paul Savage:

As far as I am aware, all the dog breeding establishments are working within the law. In the case of a licence being revoked, generally it makes the news.

Two weeks ago we had a meeting with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on registered sellers. It told us that if somebody gets removed from the 1,400 on the list, it will now notify us. Someone who is no longer a registered seller or a registered breeding establishment is not able to use the licence number to proceed. In the past year, two or three registered sellers of pets have been removed.
