angelsun Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 The latest to come off the rumour mill and is currently circulating around North America....Proposed rules from here in Australia that if any dog is exported, they MUST be desexed prior to exportation. Anyone heard anything about this nonsense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJean Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) The latest to come off the rumour mill and is currently circulating around North America....Proposed rules from here in Australia that if any dog is exported, they MUST be desexed prior to exportation.Anyone heard anything about this nonsense? That would be from the Puppy Farm Legistlation now being pushed by RSPCA, ALV and some Rescue: (no doubt some breeders will think its a good idea too) http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=201021 3. Tightening of export provisions for sale of puppies overseas Puppy farmers can currently access lucrative overseas markets by selling unregistered purebred (without pedigree) or crossbred dogs to puppy wholesalers overseas, often for substantially more money than they would obtain in Australia. • The minimum age for export of puppies for commercial purposes should be raised to 6 months. • Exemptions should only be given on a case-by-case basis and only when the puppy is travelling to accompany the existing owner overseas (ie for non-commercial purposes). • Any breeder who exports dogs over 6 months of age must be licensed and comply with a regulated Code of Practice (see 1 above) before being granted permission to export dogs or puppies. This should include the dog being desexed unless it is destined to be a breeding animal owned by a licensed breeder in the importing country.

angelsun Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ah...ok, this isn't what is being said....like most stories it's changed from the facts (as seen above) to a shortened version which states that ALL dogs exported from here MUST be desexed and that no breeding animals will be able to be sent overseas to anyone.

Any breeder who exports dogs over 6 months of age must be licensed and comply with a regulated Code of Practice (see 1 above) before being granted permission to export dogs or puppies. This should include the dog being desexed unless it is destined to be a breeding animal owned by a licensed breeder in the importing country. The shortened version is correct.

Parkeyre Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 It's a good way to stop puppy dealers making breeding machines out of puppies breeder's thought were going to pet homes.. But what lilli stating above is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
