How many Dogs

[M J]

Hello

We live outside Bundaberg,we are registered with dogsqld.Just wondering how many dogs as a breeder are you allowed? Do you need a permit? How do you go about doing this? Thank you

MJ I think you will you find it comes down to the zoning of your property within your Local Government Area as to the number of dogs that can be kept on a property without a specific kennel licence. Do your research on your local council's website under Planning and Development codes.

 

Generally households on residential zoned land can keep up to two dogs, and up to four may be kept on application for a permit. Assistance animals are not counted in the head count.

Reading the local laws for Bundaberg council (if you are under their jurisdiction), you can have up to 3 dogs without a permit, then require a permit to have up to 3 more - although the wording is deceptively vague on that point. I can find NO area of the local laws (or even the state laws) that specifically mention registered breeders or any exemptions that may be allowed for registered breeders.

 

I think you may need to call council and ask to speak to someone in the animal management section to find out if registered breeders are exempt from animal number restrictions.

This would still be the case because it is about Land Use, not whether you are a member of an Association. Its about the LGA deciding what Land Use activities they want it what areas so that residential lots are not alongside Industrial uses or Rural uses (for example).Can you imagine a residential household having to live next door to a Dog breeder with no limits on the number of dogs they kept based on their membership of a club?
