Scottish authorities warn buying puppies from unauthorized sellers funds crime and harms dogs.

Scottish authorities warn against buying puppies from unauthorized sources this holiday season to avoid funding organized crime. The Crown Office and the Scottish SPCA urge only purchasing from licensed breeders to prevent supporting illegal puppy farming, which can fund criminal activities and often results in severe health issues for the dogs. Up to £3,000 can be charged for designer breeds, and thousands of pounds are spent yearly on trafficked dogs in Scotland.
