If you're breeding dogs as a business, there is a range of legislation you must comply with. One piece of legislation is the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

If you agree a contract in a consumer’s home or away from your business premises you must provide a cancellation notice. It is a criminal offence not to supply a cancellation notice in this situation.
A cancellation notice period is 14 days and can be provided either by e-mail or paper copy. The 14 days begin the day after the day on which the dog comes into the physical possession of the consumer. It is important to note that if you do not provide the cancellation notice when agreeing a contract in a consumer’s home, as well as it being a criminal offence, the contract could be
unenforceable; meaning the consumer may not have to pay.

You must also provide a 14 day cancellation notice if you negotiate and agree a contract (sale) with a consumer via an “organised” means of distance communication, e.g. by phone, post or online. This provision may apply when you take a deposit via the telephone or e-mail for a puppy advertised on your web site, even if the balance is paid face-to-face. However, the contract must involve an organised scheme for selling dogs. A “one off” sale
of a puppy via the telephone does not constitute an organised scheme for selling dogs.

Where a cancellation notice is required, it must be provided in the prescribed format, and you may want to provide a model cancellation form. However, the customer is not obliged to use the cancellation form you provide, but must cancel in writing, either by posting, hand delivering or emailing their intention to cancel.

Os ydych yn bridio cŵn fel busnes, mae yna ystod o ddeddfwriaeth y mae'n rhaid i chi gydymffurfio â hwy. Un darn o ddeddfwriaeth yw Rheoliadau Contractau Defnyddwyr (Gwybodaeth, Canslo a Thaliadau Ychwanegol) 2013.

Os ydych yn cytuno ar gontract yng nghartref defnyddiwr neu oddi ar eich safle busnes, mae'n rhaid ichi ddarparu hysbysiad canslo. Mae'n drosedd peidio â darparu hysbysiad canslo yn y sefyllfa hon.
14 diwrnod yw cyfnod yr hysbysiad canslo a gellir ei gyflwyno naill ai drwy e-bost neu gopi papur. Mae'r 14 diwrnod yn dechrau ar y diwrnod ar ôl y diwrnod y daw'r ci i feddiant corfforol y defnyddiwr.
Mae'n bwysig nodi os nad ydych yn rhoi'r hysbysiad canslo wrth gytuno ar gontract yng nghartref defnyddiwr, yn ogystal â bod yn drosedd, gallai'r contract fod yn anorfodadwy; gan olygu efallai na fyddai'n rhaid i'r defnyddiwr dalu.

Yn ogystal, mae'n rhaid ichi ddarparu hysbysiad canslo 14 diwrnod os ydych yn trafod ac yn cytuno ar gontract (gwerthiant) gyda defnyddiwr drwy ddull "wedi'i drefnu" o gyfathrebu o bell e.e. dros y ffôn, post neu ar-lein. Gallai hwn fod yn berthnasol wrth gymryd blaendal dros y ffôn neu ar e-bost am gi bach sydd wedi'i hysbysebu ar eich gwefan, hyd yn oed os yw'r balans wedi'i dalu wyneb yn wyneb. Fodd bynnag, mae'n rhaid i'r contract gynnwys cynllun wedi'i drefnu ar gyfer gwerthu cŵn. Nid yw gwerthu ci bach
"unwaith yn unig" dros y ffôn yn gynllun wedi'i drefnu ar gyfer gwerthu cŵn.

Lle mae angen hysbysiad canslo, mae'n rhaid ei ddarparu mewn fformat penodedig ac mae'n bosibl yr hoffech ddarparu ffurflen ganslo enghreifftiol (gweler tudalen 5). Fodd bynnag, nid oes rheidrwydd ar y cwsmer i ddefnyddio'r ffurflen ganslo rydych yn ei
darparu ond mae'n rhaid i'r cwsmer ganslo yn ysgrifenedig un ai drwy'r post, dosbarthu â llaw neu drwy e-bostio ei fwriad i ganslo.

The atrocities discovered by the police raid at that sham rescue in Essex filled the headlines yesterday and dog lovers everywhere are devastated at all the suffering of these innocent dogs. Recriminations and regrets are everywhere for all those duped into believing this was a sanctuary for dogs not a killing station.

We start the day with 3,270 signatures on a petition to introduce Licensing and Regulation for Dog and Cat Rescues.

Currently in England anyone can call themselves a rescue and start raising funds. The only reason the police arrived at this man's door when they did was the involvement of Action Fraud - it was not the unmistakable smell of death despite people locally reporting it.

Dogs generally are just such an unregulated space that dogs are unprotected from exploitation. Campaigners have been voicing concerns about what was happening at this and other 'rescues' for years.

Rescue obviously needs checks and balances. Let's focus on what we can change and start sorting this out.

Scotland has already introduced licenses for rescues, it's totally shocking England has not.

It's a no brainer isn't it?

We are all still reeling from the discovery of the dog world's 32 Cromwell Rd.
But these body parts weren't in the ground - they were in builder's bags.

Fred and Rose West preyed on the vulnerable young girls.

In Essex the target was difficult to rehome dogs and people in desperate need of a Good Samaritan.

The West's case rocked the world and is serialised on Netflix now.

But if you become a serial killer of dogs and you'll probably only get a fine and a suspended sentence.
Even though we now know that being capable of hurting vulnerable creatures has a link to people escalating their behaviour to vulnerable humans.

The fraud aspect of this case potentially carries the more serious punishment and definitely accelerated the police attending. How long would this have continued without it? How many more bags of body parts before it stopped?

We need to protect dogs from rescues that are a sham and have some oversight to keep out the scammers.
We also need to make sure good people have some structure and best practise to follow so they don't get overwhelmed.
And if someone does start to lose the plot people need to know.
Someone needs to check up what's happening so it doesn't take years for an intervention.

Let's see if we can move this petition up a chunk today - it's the third most popular petition getting 99 signatures in the last hour. I'm sure we all care deeply about this, concentrate on something for the future today - something positive.

Share this everywhere and get it moving.

Many UK animal rescues operate without clear legal oversight, creating opportunities for unethical practices. Some rescues have been linked to supporting irresponsible breeding, neglecting animals, or misusing public donations.

Today is Dogs in Yellow Awareness Day 💛

💛 Today is Dogs in Yellow Awareness Day! 💛

Did you know that a dog wearing yellow might need a little extra space? Whether it’s due to nervousness, medical reasons, or training, Dogs in Yellow Awareness Day helps spread the message that these pups need understanding and some space.

If you see a dog in a yellow lead, bandana, harness, or vest, it’s a polite way of saying:

🔹 “I’m nervous around new people or dogs.”
🔹 “I’m in training—please don’t distract me!”
🔹 “I have health issues and need my space.”

At Live Well Vets, we support all dogs, whether they’re social butterflies or prefer a bit more room to breathe. If your pup needs extra help feeling comfortable, chat with us—we’re always here to make vet visits as stress-free as possible 🐾
