Multiple Dog Permits

[grumpette]

Interesting, I've got my letter confirming I've renewed my multiple dog permit and in the conditions it states there must be no breeding or keeping of litters at the property! That's a new one I'm sure. I've got a registered prefix with Dogs Vic for the very reason that I might breed at some stage in the future.

hmmm just checked my first letter from 2 years ago, I missed that it said it there as well. I must have missed it.

The same conditions were on Zeph's letter and that was at the end of 2009. I think it is part of the Vic government increased regulation of breeders.

I applied for a 3 dog permit as I am in town and I had to get neighbours to sign a form to say they don't mind me having the 3 dogs and I paid a once off fee of $75.00 and that was 3 years ago :)

what's the name of your shire or council?

I'm wondering how anyone in Vic gets permission to breed a dog now? Or do they all just flout the law?

I just looked up the permit system for Rural City of Wangaratta and it is very different to the one I got a few years ago. The one I have had no fee and was not for individual dogs, just a total of 3 dogs. Nowadays it is a $44 fee and it is charged every time you change the permit to add a dog. No mention of breeding though on either of them.

But I had no trouble changing a dogs details this year for registration, just told them I had a permit and they changed the dogs over.

Did you tick "breeder" on the form though? It does give you that option and you can indicate how many litters you breed.

I dont recall seeing it but at the time I applied I had 5 desexed dogs and Neko wasn't even a twinkle in her mother's eye.

I went in to my local council office yesterday to ask about the ban on breeding and was told if I wanted to breed I'd have to pay $274 (or something around that mark) to register myself as a business. When I tried to explain that the 2 previous litters I bred put me at a loss, and I wouldn't be doing it to make money, and that I'd been a member of Dogs Vic for many years as a registered breeder he just shrugged and suggested I follow it up by writing to my local councillor.

I told him that they make it hard to do the right thing.
