A prescribed organisation, such as RSPCA Qld, would be responsible for dealing with registration requests and keeping the register of breeders. Registered breeders would be assigned a breeder identification number (breeder ID). Breeders would be required to display their breeder ID (if applicable) at points of sale or in advertising for sale or supply. On-sellers, such as pet shops, could choose to display the breeder ID (if applicable). It would be an offence to knowingly display an incorrect breeder ID for a dog. Some of the information about registered breeders (e.g. breeder ID, name of registered breeder, and town/suburb of address where dogs are bred) would be made publicly available. Interest groups would likely encourage Queenslanders to buy only from registered breeders unless they could check for themselves the conditions under which a puppy had been bred.

megan_ Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Can you please explain how this is bad? Other than "anything that the RSPCA does is bad" which seems to be a common DOL matra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most breeders i know would be upset about a charity with no outside accountability being given this increased responsibility and will probably like to see that is part of the proposal before they don't have a chance to look at it and make comment on it. Its not anti RSPCA .I would want to be aware of the proposal no matter who they were giving this responsibility to. If it were another out side agency I would probably have the same concerns.

Tralee Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi Steve. :) Thanks. I've also added - Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 & Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 to my files. Registered breeders would be assigned a breeder identification number (breeder ID). I already have one. It's a prefix. It's not on the microchips but is on all the pedigree certificates. I would be making a submission for Option 4. My reasons. Well what actually is the ratio of dog numbers to persons required for adequacy of care. Also, what about older dogs being rehomed? That should also be considered. We can still be blindsided by the fly-by-nighters hiding under the umbrella of 'rescue' as was highlighted in Leo's story. Thanks again Px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
