Yes, that is the problem in spades, these politicians are literally falling over themselves to prove how proactive they are in drafting "animal welfare" legislation with not a clue about the actual practicalities and accept "advice" from "adviser's" with an extinction agenda of both the animals and the breeders. Along with the fact that the "enforcement" only applies to those silly enough to be registered breeders who can be traced because they have joined registers. . as for forcing them to become a registered business at the mercy of councils who on the main will NOT permit any registered dog or cat breeding "businesses in their area, Complete win, win for the Peta extinction agenda. The stupidity list just gets longer and longer. At least the good side is the majority of puppies and kittens today are not coming from the targeted breeders. So we and the general public will still be able to find a pet after all the rest are sent to extinction. Drove to Bilpin yesterday and counted 5 signs beside the road with puppy's to sale, I know three of the people and none of their dogs, although purebreds are generations of unregistered and their owners have never been a registered breeder. Well remember another friend many decades ago bought a chihuahua pup from me and crossed him to her foxie's to create miniature foxie's. Cant remember when some ANKC breeders became interested in making them a registered breed and eventually they became Tenterfield Terriers. But for over 50 years they had spread far and wide as are so, so many breeds, both recognised and ankc unrecognised. remember the pool of stumpy tailed cattle dogs that turned up at classification days when the ankc opened to studbook to upgrate to purebred when the breed had been reduce to only one registered breeder? a friend has been breeding wire haired, what he calls, Stumpy tailed Qld heelers for over 70 years. they tend to be larger and more heavily boned than ANKC standard ASTCD"s and definitely Wire haired.

Is he the dog who had the beautiful red flowering gum planted and a plaque placed near the office at Dogs NSW? seen it so often but cant remember the name for sure?

thanks to the expectation/right to inspect the breeders home to decide if they are up to your expectations, also means dog thieves can come, check out where everything is and then come back and take what they like too. I took to refusing to let strangers come to my home anymore after puppies disappeared, in one case two were only 4 weeks old. the neighbour saw her coming down my drive when i was out shopping and asked her what are you doing? She was told she had gone to the house to ask to use the phone but no one was home. I arrived home to discover the puppies missing. Noreen said she was wearing a big lumber jacket so can only surmise they were inside it. all up had 4 stolen over a 2 year period, after we had to submit to inspection by all and sundry to prove your ethical... (and bloody stupid). two of the 4 were chipped so I did get them back when one was found wandering a highway, the other I recognised from a for sale add on Gumtree (the police had told me to keep checking gumtree) and called the police. no one needs that kind of stress. interestingly I did have the rspca rock up after meeting a person at KFC, the darling had reported I was living in the car with my dogs and were concerned. I found it very curious that the rspca rocked up at my home after giving my license plate to the police and demanding my address? (I know because I asked what was the complaint, then asked who gave you my address? That was early days 1990's when they answered questions) considering I was reported as living in my car? how did they expect to find me at a residential address????? I for one am heartily sick and tired for being treated as a criminal. Interestingly the witch hunts began in the 1980's, a little research discovered same time as PETA was founded. The dog world took up the cudgels to eliminate every backyard breeder and puppy farmer . Even then I queried to my backyard breeder haters. But hey? every one of you have what? Beyond your back door? Your calling for your own elimination? They just looked at me and hugged their self proclaimed "im ethical, I'm responsible" blanket to themselves and didn't believe me. Then made themselves busy, becoming the self styled (thought police as I came to think of them) dialling the rspca to report fellow members who they considered didn't march to "their" drum. Blissfully Ignorant other fellow members were dialling and dobbing them in for elimination. Beautiful example of destruction from within. Probably along the same lines as the Salem witch hunts so popular once. (history seems to love to repeat?) interestingly in 2000 a Victorian PETA representative went on air interview, stating "that the legislation's passed to date has been so successful we expect the extinction of the domestic dog and cat within this generation". mind her excitement was a little premature, the only ones on track to extinction are those bred by registered breeders. last year 70,000 ANKC puppies were registered of which on average 80% minimum are desexed and probably another 10 to 15 percent will be as well. Australia has approximately 6 million dogs which need an awful lot of replacements annually. that figure needed would be hundreds of thousands? they sure wont be coming from any of the registered breeders or registered puppy farms. they are coming from those who never chip and probably dont even vaccinate, if the number of unchipped puppies i have been asked to chip after their owner bought them that dont even have a vaccination card either? (even more curious, not one of these people would tell me who or where they bought them? "I dont want to get them into trouble." (Ah, the human mind is a lifelong study that's for sure) Backed up by the majority of unchipped dogs and puppies flooding the pounds. Their breeders are totally under any legal radar. Their breeders will ensure PETA will be disappointed in achieving their aims. paedophiles, rapists and murderers are innocent UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. a Registered dog breeder? GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT! although I think my favourite was the cherub, who asked me, After having paid for their darling puppy, been given all their paperwork, puppy food and instructions sheets and safely in their car for the obviously quick getaway, looked at me at me as if I were a prostitute (can only surmise that, considering what came next) then asked me. "how can you live with yourself, prostituting your fur child and selling your grand child?" Yep this is the new order now. WHAT IDIOT! would want to be a dog breeder today???????????????

I too have seen first hand how much loved greyhounds are loved by both their breeders and owners. My daughter in laws family has them, a brother breeds and races his, they are trained to run to the catching pen for their favourite toy. As a result his dogs are not "chasing the mechanical hare" they are running for the catching pen and their toy. Result, in a race the hare malfunctioned one day and stopped, only one dog in the race field stopped at the" hare". all the other 9 were doing the same as Honey, racing to their toy. As a result although the owner of the dog that stopped tried to have it declared a "no race" it was refused and the placings declared. The winner? Honey by three lengths. 3 wins for 3 races. She then went to my daughter in laws sister and I couldn't count how many people after meeting Honey wanted to put their names down to adopt a greyhound she impressed them so with her loving gentle nature. Ah and her incredible zoomie's around the backyard playing with her toys. So many people got to meet her because after having some puppies stolen from me by people who had come to see mine when they were for sale, Maree offered to let me bring them to her place for potential buyers to meet as I had become too afraid to have people come to my home. almost every one who met Honey was so taken by her, decided if they get a second dog as a companion for their puppy, they want a greyhound too but hey that's not the kind of stories Emma Hurst wants made public

fascinating so our pollies are happy to hand over millions to the rspca yet refuse to contribute towards future vets? so much for any concern for animal welfare

INTERESTING LAST post on the subject is 2016 Yet still thousands of dogs and cats end up in pounds WITH NO CHIP! SO nothing has been done to address the underground breeders in the last 8 years

I was asked to microchip a puppy, the owner told me it was a jack Russell. Blind Freddy could have felt it and known it was either a pit bull or an amstaff. owners get pretty creative. If I can tell a rotti, collie, kelpie, cattle, chi, etc puppy I somehow suspect I might have got it right on that one too. When I told Richard my vet he cracked up and said, he had been told Jack Russell too for what he knew certainly was not, as well when chipping. He said on that occasion he too was sure was the same breed I thought the pup I was about to chip. its tough. It was during the worst of BSL people were trying to protect their puppies suspect this cutie is either all chihuahua or minimum 3/4, otherwise it would be long body and v short legs, as for being chocolate not sure if jack russell's even carry chocolate. yes he's chocolate, chocolate nose and dilute eyes. add being long coat, JR only carry smooth or wire. and....... https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bradbury/dogs-puppies/9-week-old-jackchi/1322499725 well they do have chocolate JK in UK.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-17/nsw-police-shot-western-sydney-man-bradley-balzan-inquest/103592578 No matter what that coroners investigation arrives at, my bets are on he tried to save his dog and paid with his life. As for being chased like that and jumped on in his own backyard, wearing a hoodie is no excuse for that they did. total tragedy on all counts. know st marys well and it is scary at times.

Catch is I well remember when the first ones arrived here. One imported male was dual registered in America as a Pitbull with one association and an American Staffordshire Terrier with the American ankc. so in yanki land they can be registered as both. kind of muddies the waters. Bit like the american quarter horses. one of their leading sires, Three Bars just happened to also be a Stud Book Thoroughbred. another that became a leading Thoroughbred and QH sire over there was Noholme (imp Aust) Does Star Kingdom (imp UK) and Todman ring a bell? Both leading ASB LEADING SIRES first one is his dad and the second his full brother. Yanks are creative in their breeding and registers. One of his sons registered as a pure bred quarter horse was bought by an Aussie to import here but soon as he found out his sire, cancelled the purchase. If he had landed here just about every horseman here would have recognised Noholme's name and know if he had been born here he would have had to be registered as a first cross QH. the fat sure would have hit the fan.

i was warning members of the ANKC as early as 1990 that ANKC need to get politicly active to counter the PETA threat. Even more so when an RSPCA member working for jacki Lambi mp. that she had received a letter asking her to get all family and friends to join and vote in coming AGM as the writer was aware the membership was being stacked by PETA members to ensure the next 2000 election would complete the election of sufficient PETA members to the board to complete the control of RSPCA board. It is pretty obvious this was achieved by the changes to becoming RSPCA inc , although the changes were already in progress as PETA members had began being elected at the previous agm's already. Last year was the first time the now DOGS NSW woke up and sent out how to vote info for a state election realising the proliferation of AJP and greens was going to end pet ownership the legislations they has been getting past was just about the point of no return. so much so PETA rep in Victoria had boasted on a radio program she anticipated "the extinction of domestic cats and dog's in this generation" did not elaborate if she meant the human or cat and dog generation? if the election being called before the second vote had not ceased the passage of the proposed legislation that females were allowed only two litters and all males could not be bred from after age 7, it would certainly been extinction within 15 to 20 years

I learned first hand one shot done to the right place kills instantly. down and out, not even a twitch. green dream does not, ask any vet, first ingredient is paralysis , that's why they seem so go to sleep so peacefully . mare had broken her leg, vet was out of green dream, but he had all the ingredients to make it save the paralysing one. you never want to see your beloved pet's body fighting to live, even if your vet is repeatedly assuring you "she is completely unconscious she is in no pain anymore, all the twitching fighting to breathe and paddling is just her nervous system shutting down" seemed to take forever .. and ever... and ever. so traumatic. still makes me sick to remember. friends son tried to kill himself with green dream, but he didn't realise have to either have someone else administer it or use a drip so he passed out before had injected enough to finish it. so survived although did quite a bit of damage to the arm he injected it in. At least complete green dream does give the peaceful looking end for us to cope with. the paralysing agent stops the body muscles doing what my mares did

yes its now "humane" to pump 7 to 16 bullets body shot, (no head shot) into a brumby body from above from a helicopter but an abattoir will be closed ff an AR hidden camera films a calf blinking three times on the kill floor proving its not completely unconscious? according to the rspca vet, the shot brumbies were "insensible within 7 seconds" never seen any shooter get 7 shots let alone 16 delivered in less than 7 seconds? any hunter worth the name that cant bring down their target in one clean shot is mortified Hence the hunters and shooters party calling the National parks and rspca out for cruelty over the brumby cull slaughter

the problem with selecting for heterozygosity solely is no guarantee that it doesn't carry one copy of the gene or genes u dont want? its not that simple two heterozygote carriers can produce 25% affected progeny two homozygous clear for example can never produce affected progeny. so many vets scream INBRED when any defective pup turns up even when there is no common ancestors in the parents? Their ignorance of genetics is appalling,. although as Richard pointed out, "genetics isn't a topic studied" as it has no application in veterinary medicine, "the curriculum is so big already they graduate with the basics, then continue learning at your expense"

I have received pup from dogmovers and they had locks on the doors? so glad its been found

Running out of time to have your say. These amendments intend to declare animals as SENTIENT beings. Don't be fooled, it's a token gesture, real agenda, PETA goal towards extinction of domestic animals. https://engage.vic.gov.au/new-animal-welfare-act-victoria

chihuahua???????????????? Sure looks like a blue pitty???

there is no excuse for not making sure your dog cannot attack anyone. But it happens way too often, there needs to be fines enforced hip pocket pain is long remembered

before the days of dna profiling that is the exactly what breeders have always had to deal with. a few years ago I accidently put two carriers together. only after the puppies were born did I realise the error. in panic I had the entire litter profiles and to my amazement every puppy was completely clear???? the odds of being clear? 25%. yet Hawkesbury Ag college used a stallion the breeder had guaranteed all their horses were scids clear. They bred 16 of their mares to him and when all 16 were born it was discovered every single one of the 16 HAD INHERITED TWO COPIES were SCIDS and doomed to die. (SCIDS is the defect that two copies created the BOY IN THE PLASTIC BUBBLE) AGAIN each conception of two carriers the percentages were 25% clear, 50% carrier, 25% SCIDS and will die. The trouble is, every conception is a new throw of the dice. can come up all sixes or all 1's the facts are even in the case of there being no test for lethals the deaths of the lethals and the survivers being on average clears and carriers in the case of the arabian horse when the marker was found only 13% of the population were actually carriers. does your head in really

"The whole, "I breed only what I need for show" is supposedly the only ethical stance a breeder can take which is nonsense and a great shame. People want a pet, once they could buy a pedigree pet AND it came with main papers. Originally breeders welcomed new members A few went on to become members and continue the breed. Not to today. The mental midgets populating DogsNSW have been parroting that since 1990's as the only way to proved your "ethical" and "responsible" the perfect dead end kennel. the other is "no ethical, responsible breeder breeds to supply pets" So what else can you expect but the self destruction of the ankc and actually any register whose members strive to be "ethical and responsible" unto extinction. frankly without the untracable backyarders the breeds will become extinct. Peta hasn't fractured them in when they boasted they expect their ever restrictive legislations will "achieve the extinction of the domestic dog and cat within this generation" Remember, now many decades now has it been law that all puppies and kittens must be microchipped before going to their new homes? How many pounds and rescues report over half all surrenders HAVE NO MICROCHIP? I rest my case.

Blue Mountains Council should never have to "buy" back what was supplied by their residents who in good faith trusted rspca. Don't forget the two shops also funded by the residents and included with the pound that had funded the running of the pound for decades until the rspca sold them and pocketed the money from them too, then said they had to close the pound as could not afford the running costs now the shops that had funded it were sold. hypocritical monsters , pity it has taken decades for the mask to slip enough people can finally see what they really are. I was told by a rspca member the 2000 AGM elections is when the peta members gained control of the board. prior to that ANKC members could be members of the rspca, many served on committees. The writing went on the wall when one dual ankc/rspca member became Chairman of RNSWCC. Within days of the announcement of his election in the Daily Telegraph and the committee members (forget the exact year) he received a letter from the rspca cancelling his membership and returning his membership payment, ditto for another dual member named on the RNSWCC Board committee as well.

No 106 goes straight to the heart of it. Bravo. Richard would be backing that vet 100 percent

I do know how impossible it is to cut a 1mg alpro tablet into 1/4's to order the 1/2 mg tablets every chemist I have gone to had had to special order them in.

yes they are the same risk factor. Bravecto was the first on the market . Simparica killed one I bred and almost killed another only weeks after I had warned their new owners not to use any with that in it. One forgot the warning, the other, shockingly their vet gave it to him when he went in for his second vaccination without even asking them. They thought he was giving him a treat, didn't realise what it was until they saw it listed on the bill. He began fitting that night. he took 3 months to recover and the fits finally stopped. At least with him they came and went. the other puppies brain was so damaged she had to be put down, neither vet admitted the drug was responsible and put the blame on the breeder. Despite them telling the vets I had warned them this drug family of isooxazoline has killed before

I learned of its killing ability after a friends pups were treated. of the 7 pups in the litter 4 began fitting, two recovered in a few weeks the other two were still suffering problems months later, of them one recovered the other the vet put down as it was still unable to walk after two months, He called her some 4 months later to tell her that the Bravecto had killed over 20 of his clients dogs since he had been using it after its initial release and to never use it as he was now positive the drug is lethal to a percentage of dogs treated with it. If it crossed the blood brain barrier there is no antidote. I saw a chart that the FDA in America had compiled of death percentages of drugs used on dogs and how many had died to that date . think it had hit 7,000 and that is only the figures sent by the vets who did recognise the reason . I remember the company defending it by saying none of the dogs died from the drug, the vets put them down. which was correct. they were put down as their quality of life had become non existent even if they were alive
