Looks like the Greens will give in & allow FF backbenchers & FG to oppose aspects of the Bill. It is incredulous that politicians want to oppose a Bill to regulate dog breeding & puppy farming - only in Ireland !.

Thanks for that, I looked at some of the debates about it.... which included breeding bitches at 4 months old!?!

Oh dear, these are the people running our country betcha they all own greyhounds! I've sent off emails and fingers crossed that this will go through....

Breeding at 4 months old dog is like forcing an 8 year human old girl to get pregnant. Its totally disgusting and wrong. A dog shouldnt be bread before its two years old at least.
