Question
To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the number of canine breeding services operating in Scotland over the last five years.
Answer
The Scottish Government has not undertaken any assessment of the number of canine fertility businesses operating in Scotland over the last five years. Responses to our recent animal licensing consultation indicated that there are potentially hundreds across the UK, but we do not have figures for Scotland.
