    This is the correct position.

    Having read that carefully and discussed it with the other Mods, we are of the firm belief that it relates solely to those that breed dogs and are members of a hunt club. IOW about 5% of the people with dogs. Not for the other 95%.
    .

    Membership to the NARGC gives affiliation to the organisation that dog breeders have, and this is covered under the act citied. NOT individual dog owners.

    So as was said earlier if you have a dog YOU are responsible for the license for it. Membership to the NARGC DOES NOT give you free dog licenses/exemption from the fee.

    My reading of this is that the gun club has to register as a dog breeding establishment? ? Which would mean a kennels will have to be built to department standards, and will be inspected yearly by department vets ? Or will every individual member have to have a minium of 6 bitches and his own department standard kennels to avoid paying the fee for the licence?Am I reading this wrong?

    The way i'm reading it, and i'm moving from individual dog owner to breeder, is that if a club has registered as a breeding establishment, has registered as such, that they are exempt from PAYING for individual dog licenses, even though a license for each dog is required. So you get the license, but don't need to pay for it.

    However there are fees, and costs associated to registering the club, and running/maintaining such a breeding program.


    It still DOES NOT create any exemption for individuals for dog licenses that are not part of such a program.

    So as said above in post 32. If you have a dog get a license.

    I attended a meeting of our gun club last week and the chairman read out a letter they had received from the cork federation of gun clubs stating that the previous information on dog licence exemption was incorrect and only applied to dog breeders with more than six breeding bitches,
