The new Animal Welfare (Breeding of Dogs) (Wales) Regulations 2014 aim to improve dog welfare
Stricter rules for dog breeding have come into force in a bid to end irresponsible breeding practices in Wales.
The regulations will affect people who keep three or more breeding bitches.
They include having a minimum staff ratio of one person to 20 adult dogs and also require breeders to socialise puppies to encourage good behaviour.
The new rules aim to improve breeding standards.
