Diva Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The AFF will use their influence to prevent this becoming legislation. You've got me curious, is the AFF a group I haven't heard of, or did you mean the NFF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diva Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) National Farmers Federation, and I don't think they have had a name change since they were established in 1979. That is why I asked if you meant to say NFF. But I agree with your main point if that is who you meant, they have the influence to stop this. Especially as it won't make sense to the average person either, working dogs are an aussie icon. Edited December 17, 2012 by Diva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Sorry Diva, NFF They do have he clout. Unfortunately, they also have the clout to swap the government for another in road into purebred dogs, and they are not reluctant to use it, so registered breeders should be aware of a possible trade off. RSPCA may be flying a kite too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbesotted Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's really begun now, showing, working, sport. Get ready for the generic dog that you are only allowed to walk. but not too far, or too long, or if the dog seems reluctant or whatever.. the lunatics have taken over the asylum H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asal Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Ahh yes this is again I think gleaned from those bloody working dog surveys I feel that Deakin helps run. They have no idea on equipment or training they just tell everyone else what to do. Get onto the RSPCA NOW people before they shut down the whole bloody country. The only people who will suffer are the dogs. They already are with the whole hands off idea. apologies. if you lot cant figure the obvious anything said is pointless anyway. you reap what not only what you sow,in this case what others have added to the paddock as well, the comming crop looks 'interesting' Edited December 18, 2012 by asal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Soon the only dog we will be allowed to own is one of the stuffed toys that come with wheels. It would please the health and safety people, low allergen, no poop, no barking and biting. Then the RSPCA would be happy they'd be out of work.

Steve Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 There is a Maremma owner around the outer west of Sydney who tells us he is having a nightmare with the RSPCA regarding the grooming of his working Maremma dogs. They are bred to be able to live in a paddock and soak in water troughs and dams and roll in mud with out needing to be groomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJaq Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 It seems the RSPCA has an army of unqualified "experts" at their disposal. How is it that officers do not need to have any kind of qualification regarding all the different kinds of animals they deal with? How can somebody who knows diddly squat about a breed determine how that breed is to be maintained? Why is there no obligation for them to go educate themselves before making judgements?

tarope Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Let Farmers do what Farmers do and let the R$PCA do what it does best, which is collecting money from the stupid people who still support this bunch of morons. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
