Do you need to be a registered breeder?
All are welcome at BreedBuddies
The breeding rules in Australia differ in each state and territory and local councils also have a say
Put simply:
- Male (stud) dog owner: You provide you male dog’s services for breeding puppies. Whether or not you need to register your breeding dog, depends on the regulations in your state and local council area.
- Breeder: You are actively involved in the whelping, raising, and sale of puppies.
- Regardless of regulations, you should always prioritise responsible stud and breeding practices, including health checks and temperament assessments. Contact your local council is the best way to ensure you're following the rules. They’re the real top dogs when it comes to local law.
