The Dog Amendment (Stop Puppy Farming) Bill 2021 has passed through parliament
Changes to the Dog Act 1976 have passed through Parliament, which, when all the provisions commence, will give local governments the tools to deal with irresponsible dog breeders, and encourage responsible dog ownership through public awareness.
Many of the legislative changes will take time to implement, as they require the procurement and development of a Centralised Registration System as well as regulations.
However, the de-muzzling of pet greyhounds in public places is set to take effect the day after the Bill receives Royal Assent.
