Looking at becoming a breeder in WA

[Brindlepuppygirl]

With a little online study so far, to become A Breeder WA does the dog have to be pedigree only?

You will need to apply to Council for a permit to breed... and that will cost you for the application AND for the annual permit IF they grant approval.

 

New legislation was passed in December 2021 which makes it harder to breed dogs in WA.

 

 

You can try, but if your dog is not pedigreed and you are not a member of any breeding association, your chances of getting approval are slim at best - and if you breed your dog without approval, the fines are quite hefty.

 

To be really honest with you, non-pedigreed AmStaffs are over-represented already, and they can run the risk of being identified as pitbulls, which are a restricted breed in Australia... which can lead to destruction orders being made for the slightest infringement. The safest option for your girl is to be desexed and treasured as a loving member of the family.

I suggest STEP 1 : spend a few hours scrolling through rescue and pound pages in order to fully understand the LIKELY outcome for most of the pups you cause to be born.

The Pounds and Rescue Shelters are full of Bully/Staffy/Pit Bull crosses.  And they can't find homes for most of them.

If the poster is serious and not just throwing a grenade into the mix, then I have to ask what are the reasons for wanting to become a breeder.  Simply because you love your girl and think there should be more like her doesn't really cut it.  As @Deedssays:  pounds of full of these crosses and pure breeds.

I would suggest you read consumer law just as much as once your a breeder you need to understand the expectations as a breeder selling a product whether cross or pure .
