Responded Fri 21 June 2024

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, we formally request that you provide the following information regarding dog breeding licences issued by your council.

Please provide answers to the following 4 questions in the format that is easiest for you.

If you do not record this information, please state entry as 'NA'. If you record this information, and the answer is zero, please state '0'.

A. Questions regarding all dog breeding licenses, per year from 2017 to 2021:

1. Total number of licensed dog breeding establishments within the local authority, per year from 2017 to 2021.

2. Total number of licensed dog breeding establishments with quarantine/isolation facilities, per year from 2017 to 2021.

B. Questions regarding each dog breeding licensed establishment, for 2021 only:

3. The number, breed and age of all breeding bitches, in each dog breeding licensed establishment in 2021.

4. Breed(s) of male stud(s)/father(s), if different to mother's breed in 2021.

I do not require any personal information regarding the dog breeding licensed establishments, such as address. Instead, I am more than happy for each dog breeding licensed establishment to be randomly assigned a unique ID number.

Response

Hastings Borough Council has not licensed any dog breeding establishments within the local authority during the years listed.
