Question 15187 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Philippe Fait draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the difficulties encountered by exempt breeders and, more broadly, to the worrying situation in the French dog industry. Many players in the field are now warning of the consequences of the decree of June 19, 2025, as well as the economic and organizational fragilities of the Company Central Canine (SCC), whose missions are essential for the management of the French stud book (LOF) and the preservation of heritage breeds. The continued decline in LOF registrations, which have now fallen below the threshold of 200,000 annual registrations, as well as the significant reduction in confirmations, raise serious concerns about the renewal of breeding stock and the future of French breeding. Moreover, the financial situation of the SCC appears particularly worrying. After a deficit of 1.6 million euros in 2024, a new deficit of 1.4 million euros would have been noted in 2025, leading to the implementation of a plan to cut major positions within the structure. These difficulties raise many questions about the sustainability of the current model and the ability of the SCC to sustainably carry out its missions. In this context, many breeders, particularly involved in the preservation of French heritage breeds, fear a progressive weakening of national breeding in an already tense economic context. He therefore wishes to know what measures the Government intends to take to guarantee the sustainability of the current LOF management model, support breeders engaged in a qualitative and heritage approach, ensure the transparency and good governance of the structures involved in the sector and sustainably preserve French breeds as well as canine genetic diversity.
