Paying £1000 for a backyard bred puppy...

Meh, I don't believe this for one second. You can only sell a certain amount of animals on selling pages per year now.

Also, comments saying report to the housing. For what?

Absolutely true!
A friend bought a pedigree puppy for £900
KC reg.

Wonderful temperament, ( I bought a sibling as well, we ordered before they were even conceived as the person only has one litter every 3 years

Friend’s puppy has lovely conformation and qualified for crufts on her very first show.

My girl is too narrow and has comedy ears for conventional shows , but is a therapy dog.
Superb temperament-

Also the person who bred them
will take back any dog she has bred for ANY reason, at any age.
She is as good as her word as had taken back two over the last 20 or so years and found good homes with people she knows well for them.

This.
Bet they aren’t paying any tax on those dogs.

So cruel as well.

HMRC, won’t do anything. I found my ex-husband’s website detailing all of their activities that they don’t declare including numbers.
2 1/2 grand for a cat with no hair looks like something out of ET
Anyway, HMRC have not given them a bill otherwise I would’ve been the 1st to know. Because it would only be me that would grass them up.

Report them to their landlord for noise nuisance and it might get the ball rolling for some action against them.

You seem to know a lot about the specifics.. as in the amount of puppies, the money, what they spend it on etc. And it does not add up.
What is your intention here?
If you think they are doing something wrong, then no need to post on MN with dubious figures.

Report to the council, they will need a licence & a vet will come and do an inspection of the property.
btw no vet would be happy with this, but equally, no vet can do anything about this, unless they report to the council - they could be using various vets so they don’t get picked up for multiple litters.

There's a plethora of beautiful dogs and cats wondering how the hell they ended up where they are.

Well no. Because dogs and cats don't have that level of thought processing and intelligence.

I always wonder at the level of detail people like the OP know about their neighbours. 😐

Still, it doesn't sound like a nice life for the dogs (or anyone living next door to them) so a phone call to animals services would be apposite.

HMRC - unearned undeclared income, obviously

Universal Credit - even those on full time wages claim benefits and I'll bet they are not declaring this unearned extra income

Action Fraud - Not very effective, but they are misrepresenting animals for sale as well cared for and healthy

Environmental Health - that amount of dog muck is not sanitary

RSPCA - they'll probably do nothing, but you've voiced your concerns about animal welfare

If they are breeding a specific breed of dog and claiming they are 'pedigree', you might want to get on to the Kennel Club

Inform the HA

Sounds like a shit situation for the dogs, not nice.

The fact they have wood panelling up in the GASP social housing is really neither here nor there

How do you know they don’t pay tax?

It's quite likely that for the frequency and regularity with which they produce puppies for sale that they should be licenced - it could be classed as a business

This will however make very little difference to the life of the poor brood bitches

Dog breeding licensing: statutory guidance for local authorities - GOV.UK

JRTs are hardly ever KC registered (KC only started registering them a couple of years ago, and most people aren't bothered about KC standards for this breed)

Report them!

Agree numbers don’t add up.

report to HMRC. Are they breeding enough to need a license? If so report to the council.

I have met a backyard breeder who really didn’t respect her dogs and I wish I’d reported her (she moved away from our area and not sure if she’s still in the business).

@Cartwrightandson and you can most certainly inform the hmrc about their unearned income!!! 19 grand extra!!! jeez!!

Just get them stolen by someone

@ComtesseDeSpair

"rescue centres are often full of the sorts of dogs nobody really wants as pets, and full of dogs which have been given up because they’re “reactive” (read: aggressive) or not good with children or other pets."

Please don't perpetrate this notion. Rescue centres are not full of aggressive or difficult dogs. Dogs, and cats, are given up or abandoned for a whole host of reasons. Many of the pedigree dogs bought as puppies in the pandemic (by feckless idiots who thought they were buying a fluffy toy) have now been dumped at rescue centres. Likewise the cost of living crises has seen an unprecendented amount of loving family pets handed into rescue centres. Often people move to rented accommodation where pets aren't allowed and sometimes owners die too. It's heartbreaking. There's a plethora of beautiful dogs and cats wondering how the hell they ended up where they are.

They've had 19 puppies at the start of your post then 80 at the end? Yet they are making 40k a year so at 1k each they are having 40 pups a year? For 6 months for 2 years?

Yeah sorry sounds like some attempt at rage bait post. Numbers don't add up at all.

Report them. Call the council, the RSPCA.
Continuously breeding dogs is appalling, even more if they female dogs are so young themselves.

More rules need to be in place to stop shitty people doing it purely to make money.

God those poor dogs. They can’t be allowed to get away with that. You have to report.

Contact your council. They're illegal breeders.

Report to RSCPA and HMRC. And the Council/housing association.

Those poor dogs being bred every season is fucking horrendous
