I know not everyone can access BBC Wales, but if you can, there is a programme on tonight about puppy farming/likely changes in Welsh law. It will be illustrated by footage from a breeder in Ceredigion, who I'm sorry to say is licensed under the current regime.
Programme is Week In Week Out at 10.35 pm
What it shows will come as no surprise to me or to people like Val, but I really hope lots of people see it and hopefully think twice before buying a cute pup. I think the key point it will illustrate is that the current licensing regime is no protection for bitches or pups. At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, if you really must buy a pup (and rescues will be great for 99% of people) then please do your homework about the breeder. Simply being licensed is no guarantee of their standards.
