The legislation is named after a Cavalier King Charles spaniel that died after being poorly treated.
Bitches like Lucy are used by unscrupulous puppy farmers to produce litters which are separated from their mothers within weeks and either advertised online or sold to pet shops.
Environment Secretary Michael Gove said:"This is about giving our animals the best possible start in life and making sure that no other animal suffers the same fate as Lucy. Marc Abraham, Lucy's Law campaigner and founder of Pup Aid, said:"I'm absolutely thrilled that Lucy's Law is now being laid in parliament and will come into effect from April 2020.
He said:"We hope this ban, alongside the tougher licensing regulations that were introduced in October, will help to stamp out the underground trade that exploits these wonderful animals simply to make a quick buck."
