New rules introduced to regulate dog breeders and the sale of puppies

The video discusses new legislation aimed at improving dog welfare by making it illegal to sell puppies under eight weeks old. Breeders must now apply for a license if they sell more than three litters a year, meeting strict criteria. The RSPCA highlights poor conditions some puppies face, and the new rules aim to curb profit-driven breeders. Animal welfare charities welcome the update, noting some laws date back to 1951. Violators face fines and imprisonment.
