Do I need a licence in Scotland?

Choose where you breed or plan to breed dogs. Answer a few questions to understand your next steps.

Answer the questions for this nation. This is an initial guide to your next steps, not a licensing decision. Your council assesses your circumstances. You can use this checker without providing contact details.

Have you bred, or will your plans involve, three or more litters in any 12-month period?(Required)

Yes

No

Not sure

Count across all your dogs, not per dog. Consider any rolling 12-month period, including recent litters and firm plans that could fall in the same period.

Are you breeding only qualifying assistance dogs, or unsure whether this exclusion applies?(Required)

No

Yes

Not sure

Ordinary working dogs or family pets do not automatically qualify as assistance dogs.

Would you like MLB to contact you about your answers?

No, just show my guidance
