JRT RESCUE Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Has anybody read this, I know what they are trying to do but this is not the way to go. This will effect most rescue groups who won't be able to operate in the future as anybody that sells dogs and cats will be under this regulation. The only ones that will be able to operate will be the big commercial breeders which is not what I believe we want. Yes we need to stop the backyard breeders but do we want ones that have over 100 dogs and all they do is breed them with no love or attention. As well as doing the rescue for Jack Russell's I also breed and show but probably only have a litter every two or three years, how am I suppose to do what they require, there will be no more pure breed breeders who test for faults in their breeding, which these big commercial ones don't. Why would any breeder need to build a separate room with concrete rooms away from their home to have their puppies when like myself my girl lives inside and sleeps in my bedroom and that is also where she has her puppies so I can look after all of them, why would I put her outside in a separate room.

_PL_ Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 We're moving closer and closer to nice shiny legalised puppy farms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all designed by people who know nothing about how socialisation is developed in puppies. By being close to humans from birth & by also having a mother dog who is well socialised. So 'farm buildings' being central to their accommodation, is going in the opposite direction. This legislation is all about making money by breeding puppies in commercially 'attractive' numbers. Yep.... that's a puppy farm in a nutshell. Yet US research showed puppies developed much better & had fewer behavioural/adjustment problems, if they came from more homely settings where they were close to people & everyday domestic life.

JRT RESCUE Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 We all need to send our thoughts to our local member to get it changed because if we sit back it will go through as I believe the RSPCA are behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It's crazy. Dogs NSW are receiving support and advice from Dogs Vic as we have recently fought a similar battle. It might be worth touching base with them. United we stand and all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
