its interesting that although this is one continent, supposedly, one nation, yet NOT a National pet register data base? only one reason for that, to enable thieves to take their stolen animals interstate and resell. A fact pet rescues have profited from for decades, buy from one state and ship and sell in another, been happening for decades despite heartbroken owners have been asking for a national data base for decades after some did discover their pet now registered to someone else interstate after seeing their photos online. as for the millions invested when EI landed here and tens of thousands or was it hundreds of thousands of horses microchipped and data based. within months of EI declared eradicated. There listed on greys online were millions of dollars worth listed for sale at the loss of millions and the entire data base wiped? before they wiped all that data base you could trace all those horses directly to their owners if any were lost. equally any stolen horses consigned to sales or slaughter could be directedly traced to their real owner and show up the seller was nt their legal owner! the horse theft market is huge. I saw many sold I later found out had been stolen. well remember two stunning mares that I knew on sight were pure arabians, found out 4 days later they had been stolen and told the owner the dogger who bought them. sadly she took another week to contact him and both were dead by then although he still had their hides so their brands could have been traced to the seller. but the auctioneer for some reason claimed they had no way to trace the seller as they had not listed the brands on the invoices? if the data base had been retained the scanning of all at a sale would have revealed when seller name and registered owner didn't match. But that never eventuated because why?????????? at the time I suspected too many did not want the booming trade stopped let alone traceability to the thieves, same with the dogs. never ceases to amaze me, the majority of vets dont routinely scan and record every new patient that comes into their surgery? hello? its been law, all must be chipped for how many decades now????

excellent way to speed up their date of death, faster population reduction for those still left though peta would be pleased

thanks, didnt know that

When ever I've reported a dumped dog, invariably asked to catch it first.

it will be true for us all soon, me included

reference article https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-31/tasmanian-labradoodles-alleged-animal-welfare-breaches/102412630 Come to think of it, Why is there no accountability for the outright lies in their story? ie " The RSPCA alleges the offending occurred between 5 April 2021 and 13 February 2023. It will be alleged one of the dogs, listed as Barbie, had six litters between October 2020 and September 2022. Another, named Chanel, allegedly had four litters, again in just under two years." Why is such drivel allowed to go the print? It is IMPOSSIBLE for any bitch to produce six litters " between October 2020 and September 2022." ditto for "Another, named Chanel, allegedly had four litters, again in just under two years." Even when a bitch actually did cycle six monthly she cant produce 4 litters "in just under two years". why aren't they held to account for such blatant lies? why isn't this fact checked by qualified reproduction vets before it gets put out there to completely mislead the general population? Along with the pollies being spoon fed these lies. as for needing more laws? Also why is it not made public ALL OVER AUSTRALIA. They have been seizing animals based solely on "the inspector formed the opinion the animals best interests would be best served by immediate seizure and removal to their Yagoona facility" Quote from a letter from The Honourable Richard Amery, Minister for Agriculture. the animal in question, had food, water, shelter and had not any of the conditions in the pocta listed for immediate seizure. Additionally even though the seizing inspector did put the animal was seized due to "a skin condition" which the seizing inspector had assumed was slight visible mange. (It actually had very low expression of blue gene alopecia, ie short hair on both ears, short hair along top of tail along rump and back on on otherwise long coat chihuhua, the dogs vet phoned every day for 13 days demanding the dogs return and explaining what he did have was blue gene alopecia, but nup they tested him for both forms of mange, hypothyroidism, for which he had absolutely NO SYMPTOMS.) MANGE is not listed as grounds for immediate seizure now, let alone in November 1999. NEITHER is hypothyroidism, although neither was even listed as the cause for seizure. they have had such extensive powers already in 1999 to seize solely on deciding to "form the opinion" that is pretty much absolute power with no avenue of appeal over 24 years ago. what part of that FACT are our politicians missing????????????????????? As they scramble to be seen to be SAVING our pets from cruelty? considering they stole a perfectly healthy dog and 13 days later all their tests had proven that he was, then returned that dog now with a torn trachea, pneumonia and dehydration so severe he had to be given antibiotics and a drip to save him within an hour of getting him back to his life time vet??? he was 4 years when stolen. So any of you really think what happened to that dog was a one off example of their incompetence??????? Let alone a wake up call to how much power they already had. let alone Then and now STILLL absolutely, NO AVENUE OF APPEAL? Lone event, hardly, met so many traumatised. many never see their pet again alive.

Done and dusted, another mega fundraiser with soooo much free publicity.

Yes, that is the problem in spades, these politicians are literally falling over themselves to prove how proactive they are in drafting "animal welfare" legislation with not a clue about the actual practicalities and accept "advice" from "adviser's" with an extinction agenda of both the animals and the breeders. Along with the fact that the "enforcement" only applies to those silly enough to be registered breeders who can be traced because they have joined registers. . as for forcing them to become a registered business at the mercy of councils who on the main will NOT permit any registered dog or cat breeding "businesses in their area, Complete win, win for the Peta extinction agenda. The stupidity list just gets longer and longer. At least the good side is the majority of puppies and kittens today are not coming from the targeted breeders. So we and the general public will still be able to find a pet after all the rest are sent to extinction. Drove to Bilpin yesterday and counted 5 signs beside the road with puppy's to sale, I know three of the people and none of their dogs, although purebreds are generations of unregistered and their owners have never been a registered breeder. Well remember another friend many decades ago bought a chihuahua pup from me and crossed him to her foxie's to create miniature foxie's. Cant remember when some ANKC breeders became interested in making them a registered breed and eventually they became Tenterfield Terriers. But for over 50 years they had spread far and wide as are so, so many breeds, both recognised and ankc unrecognised. remember the pool of stumpy tailed cattle dogs that turned up at classification days when the ankc opened to studbook to upgrate to purebred when the breed had been reduce to only one registered breeder? a friend has been breeding wire haired, what he calls, Stumpy tailed Qld heelers for over 70 years. they tend to be larger and more heavily boned than ANKC standard ASTCD"s and definitely Wire haired.

Is he the dog who had the beautiful red flowering gum planted and a plaque placed near the office at Dogs NSW? seen it so often but cant remember the name for sure?

thanks to the expectation/right to inspect the breeders home to decide if they are up to your expectations, also means dog thieves can come, check out where everything is and then come back and take what they like too. I took to refusing to let strangers come to my home anymore after puppies disappeared, in one case two were only 4 weeks old. the neighbour saw her coming down my drive when i was out shopping and asked her what are you doing? She was told she had gone to the house to ask to use the phone but no one was home. I arrived home to discover the puppies missing. Noreen said she was wearing a big lumber jacket so can only surmise they were inside it. all up had 4 stolen over a 2 year period, after we had to submit to inspection by all and sundry to prove your ethical... (and bloody stupid). two of the 4 were chipped so I did get them back when one was found wandering a highway, the other I recognised from a for sale add on Gumtree (the police had told me to keep checking gumtree) and called the police. no one needs that kind of stress. interestingly I did have the rspca rock up after meeting a person at KFC, the darling had reported I was living in the car with my dogs and were concerned. I found it very curious that the rspca rocked up at my home after giving my license plate to the police and demanding my address? (I know because I asked what was the complaint, then asked who gave you my address? That was early days 1990's when they answered questions) considering I was reported as living in my car? how did they expect to find me at a residential address????? I for one am heartily sick and tired for being treated as a criminal. Interestingly the witch hunts began in the 1980's, a little research discovered same time as PETA was founded. The dog world took up the cudgels to eliminate every backyard breeder and puppy farmer . Even then I queried to my backyard breeder haters. But hey? every one of you have what? Beyond your back door? Your calling for your own elimination? They just looked at me and hugged their self proclaimed "im ethical, I'm responsible" blanket to themselves and didn't believe me. Then made themselves busy, becoming the self styled (thought police as I came to think of them) dialling the rspca to report fellow members who they considered didn't march to "their" drum. Blissfully Ignorant other fellow members were dialling and dobbing them in for elimination. Beautiful example of destruction from within. Probably along the same lines as the Salem witch hunts so popular once. (history seems to love to repeat?) interestingly in 2000 a Victorian PETA representative went on air interview, stating "that the legislation's passed to date has been so successful we expect the extinction of the domestic dog and cat within this generation". mind her excitement was a little premature, the only ones on track to extinction are those bred by registered breeders. last year 70,000 ANKC puppies were registered of which on average 80% minimum are desexed and probably another 10 to 15 percent will be as well. Australia has approximately 6 million dogs which need an awful lot of replacements annually. that figure needed would be hundreds of thousands? they sure wont be coming from any of the registered breeders or registered puppy farms. they are coming from those who never chip and probably dont even vaccinate, if the number of unchipped puppies i have been asked to chip after their owner bought them that dont even have a vaccination card either? (even more curious, not one of these people would tell me who or where they bought them? "I dont want to get them into trouble." (Ah, the human mind is a lifelong study that's for sure) Backed up by the majority of unchipped dogs and puppies flooding the pounds. Their breeders are totally under any legal radar. Their breeders will ensure PETA will be disappointed in achieving their aims. paedophiles, rapists and murderers are innocent UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. a Registered dog breeder? GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT! although I think my favourite was the cherub, who asked me, After having paid for their darling puppy, been given all their paperwork, puppy food and instructions sheets and safely in their car for the obviously quick getaway, looked at me at me as if I were a prostitute (can only surmise that, considering what came next) then asked me. "how can you live with yourself, prostituting your fur child and selling your grand child?" Yep this is the new order now. WHAT IDIOT! would want to be a dog breeder today???????????????

I too have seen first hand how much loved greyhounds are loved by both their breeders and owners. My daughter in laws family has them, a brother breeds and races his, they are trained to run to the catching pen for their favourite toy. As a result his dogs are not "chasing the mechanical hare" they are running for the catching pen and their toy. Result, in a race the hare malfunctioned one day and stopped, only one dog in the race field stopped at the" hare". all the other 9 were doing the same as Honey, racing to their toy. As a result although the owner of the dog that stopped tried to have it declared a "no race" it was refused and the placings declared. The winner? Honey by three lengths. 3 wins for 3 races. She then went to my daughter in laws sister and I couldn't count how many people after meeting Honey wanted to put their names down to adopt a greyhound she impressed them so with her loving gentle nature. Ah and her incredible zoomie's around the backyard playing with her toys. So many people got to meet her because after having some puppies stolen from me by people who had come to see mine when they were for sale, Maree offered to let me bring them to her place for potential buyers to meet as I had become too afraid to have people come to my home. almost every one who met Honey was so taken by her, decided if they get a second dog as a companion for their puppy, they want a greyhound too but hey that's not the kind of stories Emma Hurst wants made public

fascinating so our pollies are happy to hand over millions to the rspca yet refuse to contribute towards future vets? so much for any concern for animal welfare

INTERESTING LAST post on the subject is 2016 Yet still thousands of dogs and cats end up in pounds WITH NO CHIP! SO nothing has been done to address the underground breeders in the last 8 years

I was asked to microchip a puppy, the owner told me it was a jack Russell. Blind Freddy could have felt it and known it was either a pit bull or an amstaff. owners get pretty creative. If I can tell a rotti, collie, kelpie, cattle, chi, etc puppy I somehow suspect I might have got it right on that one too. When I told Richard my vet he cracked up and said, he had been told Jack Russell too for what he knew certainly was not, as well when chipping. He said on that occasion he too was sure was the same breed I thought the pup I was about to chip. its tough. It was during the worst of BSL people were trying to protect their puppies suspect this cutie is either all chihuahua or minimum 3/4, otherwise it would be long body and v short legs, as for being chocolate not sure if jack russell's even carry chocolate. yes he's chocolate, chocolate nose and dilute eyes. add being long coat, JR only carry smooth or wire. and....... https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bradbury/dogs-puppies/9-week-old-jackchi/1322499725 well they do have chocolate JK in UK.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-17/nsw-police-shot-western-sydney-man-bradley-balzan-inquest/103592578 No matter what that coroners investigation arrives at, my bets are on he tried to save his dog and paid with his life. As for being chased like that and jumped on in his own backyard, wearing a hoodie is no excuse for that they did. total tragedy on all counts. know st marys well and it is scary at times.

Catch is I well remember when the first ones arrived here. One imported male was dual registered in America as a Pitbull with one association and an American Staffordshire Terrier with the American ankc. so in yanki land they can be registered as both. kind of muddies the waters. Bit like the american quarter horses. one of their leading sires, Three Bars just happened to also be a Stud Book Thoroughbred. another that became a leading Thoroughbred and QH sire over there was Noholme (imp Aust) Does Star Kingdom (imp UK) and Todman ring a bell? Both leading ASB LEADING SIRES first one is his dad and the second his full brother. Yanks are creative in their breeding and registers. One of his sons registered as a pure bred quarter horse was bought by an Aussie to import here but soon as he found out his sire, cancelled the purchase. If he had landed here just about every horseman here would have recognised Noholme's name and know if he had been born here he would have had to be registered as a first cross QH. the fat sure would have hit the fan.

i was warning members of the ANKC as early as 1990 that ANKC need to get politicly active to counter the PETA threat. Even more so when an RSPCA member working for jacki Lambi mp. that she had received a letter asking her to get all family and friends to join and vote in coming AGM as the writer was aware the membership was being stacked by PETA members to ensure the next 2000 election would complete the election of sufficient PETA members to the board to complete the control of RSPCA board. It is pretty obvious this was achieved by the changes to becoming RSPCA inc , although the changes were already in progress as PETA members had began being elected at the previous agm's already. Last year was the first time the now DOGS NSW woke up and sent out how to vote info for a state election realising the proliferation of AJP and greens was going to end pet ownership the legislations they has been getting past was just about the point of no return. so much so PETA rep in Victoria had boasted on a radio program she anticipated "the extinction of domestic cats and dog's in this generation" did not elaborate if she meant the human or cat and dog generation? if the election being called before the second vote had not ceased the passage of the proposed legislation that females were allowed only two litters and all males could not be bred from after age 7, it would certainly been extinction within 15 to 20 years

I learned first hand one shot done to the right place kills instantly. down and out, not even a twitch. green dream does not, ask any vet, first ingredient is paralysis , that's why they seem so go to sleep so peacefully . mare had broken her leg, vet was out of green dream, but he had all the ingredients to make it save the paralysing one. you never want to see your beloved pet's body fighting to live, even if your vet is repeatedly assuring you "she is completely unconscious she is in no pain anymore, all the twitching fighting to breathe and paddling is just her nervous system shutting down" seemed to take forever .. and ever... and ever. so traumatic. still makes me sick to remember. friends son tried to kill himself with green dream, but he didn't realise have to either have someone else administer it or use a drip so he passed out before had injected enough to finish it. so survived although did quite a bit of damage to the arm he injected it in. At least complete green dream does give the peaceful looking end for us to cope with. the paralysing agent stops the body muscles doing what my mares did

yes its now "humane" to pump 7 to 16 bullets body shot, (no head shot) into a brumby body from above from a helicopter but an abattoir will be closed ff an AR hidden camera films a calf blinking three times on the kill floor proving its not completely unconscious? according to the rspca vet, the shot brumbies were "insensible within 7 seconds" never seen any shooter get 7 shots let alone 16 delivered in less than 7 seconds? any hunter worth the name that cant bring down their target in one clean shot is mortified Hence the hunters and shooters party calling the National parks and rspca out for cruelty over the brumby cull slaughter

the problem with selecting for heterozygosity solely is no guarantee that it doesn't carry one copy of the gene or genes u dont want? its not that simple two heterozygote carriers can produce 25% affected progeny two homozygous clear for example can never produce affected progeny. so many vets scream INBRED when any defective pup turns up even when there is no common ancestors in the parents? Their ignorance of genetics is appalling,. although as Richard pointed out, "genetics isn't a topic studied" as it has no application in veterinary medicine, "the curriculum is so big already they graduate with the basics, then continue learning at your expense"

I have received pup from dogmovers and they had locks on the doors? so glad its been found

Running out of time to have your say. These amendments intend to declare animals as SENTIENT beings. Don't be fooled, it's a token gesture, real agenda, PETA goal towards extinction of domestic animals. https://engage.vic.gov.au/new-animal-welfare-act-victoria

chihuahua???????????????? Sure looks like a blue pitty???

there is no excuse for not making sure your dog cannot attack anyone. But it happens way too often, there needs to be fines enforced hip pocket pain is long remembered
