I've only progressed to looking at the insurance issue thus far and if I do proceed with the venture, it was my preferred intention to only house one or two dogs from one household at a time. I'm not absolutely sure about the licence issue yet although I was under the impression that this only applied if you are housing in excess of 3 dogs. It's similar to the licensing with people who breed dogs; if you breed from one or two of your own pets, no licence is necessary. If you keep 'breeding dogs' then licences and business rates are mandatory. Certainly lots to think about though and I like your sheds, they are simlar to what I had envisaged here although I would have thought that the size of them does not require planning permission??? Unless you live in a conservation area??

Yes, I envisaged it was a similar thing licence-wise with dog-sitting on your own premises. Three or less would not require a license.

I tried to ring the environmental health to ask questions today but the main person is on holiday for two weeks....so they told me to rang back Monday and speak to one of their officers.  I hope youre right about the kennels.....we only use them as somewhere to put the malamutes when people come to the house or I need to clean the house or when they have marrow bones...the darn things wont sleep in them and make noise all night
