Hi, acutally it is the Local Authority, not the County Council who deal with licenc applications. Each one can set own guidelines, but they now have a framework to work within, and a lot use the "model kennel" paper to lay down the requirments. Some are a lot tighter than others, and some a lot more knowledgable than others. The change in the Law recently put a few more essential into the requirments, such as minimum breeding age, amx. number of litters, frequency of litters etc.
