Christina Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 A lengthy, rather disturbing article with opinions from RSPCA, AWL & referring to Oscars Law, PIAA & the select comittee. Too long to type out several pages but here is a worrying part re PIAA Its dogs lifetime guarantee on traceability & rehoming includes a scheme for approved breeders to comply with codes of ethical operation, subject to an independent annual audit by a vet. They would be required to microchip animals with breeder details before sale to accredited pet shops ( tells you how to find the 8 here later on ) If the dog were to be found abandoned or sent to a shelter or pound, the theory is that it would be traced back to pet shop & breeder for re homing at PIAA's expense. The policy was rolled out in NSW & will be launched in SA in 2 or 3 months. Does this mean that registered breeders with canine associations have to sell through pet shops only ? Why do the RSPCA refuse to contact the breeder of a surrendered or abandoned dog or let the breeder take it back if they have it now but they are going to approve it through pet shop sales ? The whole article was odd & flawed with varying opinions & am not sure exactly what it was trying to do apart from somehow support large scale, approved cross breeding facilities. Not sure how to find a link on the net for this but worth a read if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I read it. The article was poorly written and seemed to have no real point. Nothing in there about registered breeders or where or how to obtain a well bred dog, just a bunch of dribble on how they visited a puppy farm, that wasn't a puppy farm, that turned out to be selling pups to a store in Adelaide, so could have been a puppy farm....

You explained it much better than I did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
