What Is the Legal Age to Sell a Puppy in Australia

So, if a registered breeder gets caught, what would be the penalty, if any? Brokers buy puppies and kittens from breeders in Victoria or Interstate, either as a breeding agent or by selling the puppies and kittens directly to the community. Possibly legal, but a direct violation of the WCC – hardly an ethical breeder. If you are a member of an applicable organization (e.g. Victoria Dogs) with up to 10 fertile female cats or dogs and you sell a breed, you will be classified as a recreational breeder. Yes, my curse too. TAX!!! Are these so-called breeders paying taxes on the sale of these puppies at such a ridiculous price? Some of these people earn more by selling a litter of puppies than someone can earn in a year and certainly in some cases ($6000 per pup@6pups, do the math) earn more than a retiree. Yes, and most of these people do not move in price, if they are too expensive. He doesn`t just puppet his cats and other animals. I have a friend who breeds and she constantly talks about how much money she will get for each litter.

Sick with the wombs of poor to win a live mummy animal, I did not ask about animal rights, I am sure that if they had the choice, they would not give their permission. Prices are out of control and I point the finger at producers, if their prices were not that high, it would discourage backyard producers who only see the dollar. So go breeders also you take off your eyes greedy for money and come back to the real world and help the little mummies animals I`m glad to have this blog here. It`s really beautiful. Puppies look so cute and I love them. This information is very useful for all people who like to buy puppies. Please share this information here. Puppy for sale Can you please tell me if this is an actual law regarding the age to leave one`s mother and sell and if so, what are the consequences? Give, sell or offer a puppy or kitten under 6 weeks of age, unless the mother of the puppy or kitten is given or sold to the same person as the puppy or kitten.

I don`t know anything about legality, but our local newspaper usually says in the pet classifieds section that it is a criminal offense to sell puppies under 8 weeks old. In many states, only the movement of minor dogs or cats in commerce results in a violation of laws. For example, the law could only affect the importation or transportation of puppies or kittens for sale in the state, as is the case in Florida, Indiana and Illinois. States such as Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania include the adoption or transfer of a minor puppy in their laws. For example, under the Pet Animals Act 1998, certain working dogs are not required to be microchipped and, therefore, advertisements to sell or give away these dogs do not need to include an identification number. It also does not apply to threatening, dangerous and restricted dogs offered or declared, as it is illegal to sell or advertise these dogs in New South Wales. The advertising requirement applies to all “regulated” dogs, including hunting dogs. In Victoria, the breeding and sale of cats and dogs is regulated under: One thing to understand with these puppy sales laws is that they may not apply to everyone. In other words, laws may be limited to a specific category of people, such as dog breeders, kennel operators, or other pet stores. Fifteen of the twenty-eight states make it illegal for anyone to sell a minor puppy.

Other states limit regulation to pet stores, pet dealers or ranchers. Like many pet sales laws (commonly referred to as “puppy lemons laws”), the purpose of these laws is to curb the distribution of puppies from unregulated sources such as puppy mills, rather than prevent sales from those who are not in the livestock sector (i.e. people who simply give an unwanted litter). The information in this article refers to NSW only. If you don`t live in New South Wales, check with your local council to see what rules may apply. According to Section 597z: illegal sale, defined as when the seller “physically transfers the dog(s) to the buyer.” Definition in § 605/2: “Dog dealer” means any person who sells, offers for sale, barters or offers to adopt dogs in this state with or without charge or donation. However, a person who sells only dogs that he has produced and bred is not considered a dog dealer for the purposes of this Act, and a veterinary clinic or clinic operated by one or more veterinarians licensed under the Veterinary Medicine and Surgery Practice Act, 2004 is not considered a dog dealer under that Act. “Cat Breeder” means a person who sells, offers for sale, barters or offers for adoption with or without charge Cats that he has produced and raised.

A person who owns, owns or harbours 5 or fewer females capable of breeding is not considered a cat breeder. “Dog breeder” means a person who sells, offers for sale, exchanges or offers for adoption dogs that he has produced and raised. A person who owns, owns or houses 5 or fewer people is not considered a dog breeder. If a registered participant in the greyhound racing industry wishes to sell or give away a greyhound that they own, the advertisement must include an identification number. Note that OK revoked its regulation in the rules of commercial breeding on the sale or transfer of cats and dogs under 8 weeks old in 2014 You can “sell” a puppy at any age (many are even “bought” before birth), but the age at which a puppy can actually go to a new home, is mandatory. Since the purpose of most of these laws is to curb the sale of underage dogs and protect both dogs and consumers, some parts are excluded from these laws. As you might expect, many states exclude nonprofit animal shelters or humane societies from the laws. This type of exclusion becomes necessary when considering unwanted puppies that are often left at the door of such organizations. In addition, some states have provisions that exclude traders regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) who provide dogs for research purposes.

It depends on what advice. Brisbane and Moreton Shire require ALL breeders (ANkc and in Moreton Shire, including BYB) to have a breeder`s licence. Ipswich didn`t have a breeding licence before, but don`t know what they do now. I don`t know Logan or Gold Coast. At a minimum, dogs must be registered with the Council. But see if they are able to sell them unvaccinated or unchipped, because it is doubtful that they would do these things at this age.
