The possible changes to legislation regarding animal breeding and sale of pets are being considered as part of an ongoing review of pet welfare. The Scottish Government has already held a number of meetings with stakeholders around that ongoing review; and will be looking at the need for legislative change. The Scottish Ministers will bring forward plans for appropriate full public consultation in due course.
