Work is underway in my Department in drafting measures to implement the majority recommendations of the Working Group to review the Management of Dog Breeding Establishments. The issues involved are quite complex and have required detailed consideration. The question of whether or not to provide exemption for specific types of organisations, or breeding establishments, from the requirements of the proposed regulations is being considered in the context of this work. It is my intention to advance this matter as quickly as possible.
