Work is underway in my Department in drafting regulations to implement the majority of the recommendations of the Working Group to Review the Management of Dog Breeding Establishments. The question of whether or not to provide exemptions for specific types of organisations, or breeding establishments, from the requirements of the proposed regulations will be considered in the context of this work.
