Hi Sarita

we have had one meeting with officials from the CVO. WE are not sure whether they will take on board what we have suggest. They have said that they will be coming back to us before they issue a revised  Animal Welfare (Breeding of Dogs)(Wales) Regs 2011. 

We will have to wait and see what happens at the moment, certainly we came away from the meeting feeling that they were only going through the motions, in fact one of the CVO staff was openly hostile and another quite dismissive.

Our expectations of influencing any of their preconceived ideas is quite low.

Kind regards

Colin
