it won't apply, have a look at this site

you would have a responsibility to treat any personal info you have on a buyer as confidential ie where they live etc and not to pass on that info for gain etc but as far as i understand it as a breeder you are opening yourself to potential buyers and any info offered can not be protected

sounds sensible, you would fall foul of the data protection law if you were to give that info to a third party say a vet or puppy food company so they could mail shot etc

good point i use a feed company which requests that i give a name and ad of each puppies new owners , this is to check i give them the free bag of food supplied with each pup so not to have any rapid changes in diet and they will random check i have supplied the pup with the bag supplied, also i have each puppy microchipped and im 2nd contact so again holding personal info, food for thought for breeders :thumbsup:
