A new dog breeder identification system is to be introduced next year which should help to stamp out dodgy puppy mills the RSPCA says. Desley Boyle the Queensland Local Government Minister announced that in 2011 dog breeders must be registered and their ID numbers displayed anywhere puppies are sold. Breeder's ID numbers must be included in the advertising of puppies for sale and breeding bitches will be micro chipped and their details included in the registration and micro chipping of every puppy sold.
RSPCA spokesperson, Michael Beattie said the new regulations would cut down on unscrupulous breeders and make internet dog sellers more accountable. "It's definitely a step in the right direction" Mr Beattie said.
