Article 53. Breeding of companion animals

1. The activity of breeding companion animals may only be carried out by persons duly registered in the Register of Companion Animal Breeders.

Owners of pets of pet species whose individual identification is mandatory by current regulations and who wish to carry out a non-commercial breeding activity, such as punctual breeding or others that are carried out by law, must necessarily register the animals as breeders in the Registry of Companion Animals. This registration will automatically signify the holder’s registration in the Companion Animal Breeders Register in the corresponding category.

3. Any person responsible for the activity of breeding pet animals must accredit the training that is determined by regulation to be able to carry out their activity, according to the category of breeder in which they register.

4. The conditions for the authorisation of the breeding activity, types of authorised breeders, periodicity and conditions of the breeding individuals will be developed by regulation.

5. The spaces where pets are raised will respect, according to their category, the conditions of space and accommodation included in the regulations on zoological centres.
