Dear Ms Jones,

I refer to your request for information regarding dog breeding, which
was received on 10th September, 2009 and has been dealt with under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The specific information you requested was as follows:

1. How long dog breeders using metal containers to house dogs have held
licenses
2. A descripton of the container.

Before I respond, I should explain that the Freedom of Information Act
is concerned with information that is already on record and does not
therefore require a public authority to create new information.
Therefore, my response is limited to the information that we hold on
record in the form of inspection reports.

We have interpreted your request to be concerned with metal shipping
containers (the kind used to transport goods on lorries and ships).

Two licensed dog breeders in Carmarthenshire have been therefore been
found to be using what could be described as "metal containers":

1. Since an inspection on 23rd November, 2005, breeder found to be using
a converted container as an isolation unit. Still in use at last
inspection on 6th August, 2008. The breeder has been licensed since
28th October, 2005.

2. Converted containers in use when inspected on 31st October, 2008.
Referred to on inspection report forms since 20th January, 2000. The
breeder has been licensed since 1st January, 1997.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Yours sincerely
