Why should I only inquire with Registered Breeders about Puppies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accountability!  When Breeders register they’ll be issued a Breeder Registration Number (BRN).<\/span> Their BRN must be listed in any advertisements they post, when selling a dog or cat. This means they are entitled to breed and sell dogs or cats. It also enables new Pet Owners to contact the Breeder, if any issues arise with the pet, after sale.<\/span>  Being a registered breeder also means they are exempt from the new requirement to desex puppies and kittens born after 1 July 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is a Breeder Identification Number (BIN)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breeder Identification Numbers are a member numbers issued online by the NSW Pet Registry to dog breeders.  The required Breeder Identification Number helps people looking to buy a cat or dog to know what the current owner has recorded as the breed, gender and age of the cat or dog, whether it is desexed, and whether or not it is already registered.  This way, new Pet Owners can make well-informed decisions when purchasing a pet, and promotes responsible cat and dog breeding and selling. Animal welfare enforcement agencies are also able to record information and volume of pets produced by a Breeder to identify irresponsible breeders and to enforce animal welfare laws.   The number is recorded on all the pup’s microchips. Only Breeders of genuine working dogs are exempt from the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is a “registered dog breeder”<\/em> in Australia?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon registration they are given a Breeder Identification Number (BIN) or a Breeder Registration Number (BRN) this is provided by an approved breeder organisation that accredits dog breeders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By law, Queensland Breeders should have both a Supply Number<\/a> and Membership with their State ANKC Body. If the Queensland puppies are bred by a Queensland Primary Producer to be kept by any primary producer as working dogs, then a Supply Number is not required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ANKC is the national breeder body in Australia.  Each State of Australia have their own State body that are also members of the ANKC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
