No Licences For Nsw Breeders

Then she needs a kick in the arse... lol!

Yep but its common practice around here so therefore I assume its relatively common throughout the state. If they haven't done anything to enforce it in all this time why would we believe that its going to get better rather than worse.

When breeders work out that they can be exposed as to how many litters they breed and its been stated that if they breed higher than average numbers it will alert a potential issue for them its hardly an incentive for those not doing it to begin doing it.

This whole load of crap about breeders having to have an ID number or chip number in their ads has already shown it cant be enforced and doesn't work.

There is a lot they need to fix before they proceed.

You have people who get their staff to take puppies to get chipped and the name and address on the chip paper has to be of the person present because you need a signature. If the breeder isn't present or if they say they are not the breeder the pup is never chipped in the breeder's name. So how will they record who the breeder is if the breeder isnt present etc?

No ID is ever required so you can give any name and address anyway. If you sell a puppy with no chip you have to be pretty unlucky to get found out and many claim its worth facing the fine rather than comply. There are so many honest mistakes made and things that cant be controlled. Over the last 6 months Ive had puppies chipped and a week later when its time to send them home there is no chip scanning. If I didnt have my own scanner I wouldn't have any idea that the chip had gone missing. Ive had girl dogs chipped as males and vice versa.Dogs with chip numbers going home with chip numbers of dogs sent to another state before I had the scanner because the vet recorded the markings wrongly. I had one litter of puppies all chipped on the same day form the same litter who's paperwork was processed by council with 3 different dates of birth - error made by a vet nurse. So now I stand and read every single chip form before I sign it which I never did before. Then you get the vet and the breeder signing off on what breed the dog is and those who process it change it so the dog is registered as a different breed to what it is! Its impossible to get the breed changed to what it really is. There is one dog which I sold , changed the papers over and then 2 years later found out its still in my name with council at the new owners address and its been registered with council in another town and desexed. The new owner attended council to pay the registration fee and they changed it back to my name but kept her address.

I hope they listen to people who see these things so they can work on solutions as they are putting the thing together but experience tells me that they have an idealistic view of how things are and should be and go off half cocked.

At the end of the day no matter what they want to do to placate those who think more regulation is the answer its about the integrity of the breeder.

They need to promote and reward those who are doing it right rather than make statements about how if you do it right its a way of them being able to

find potential problems with you.
