Breeding Puppies Without a Licence Is Illegal in South Africa
Thinking about breeding your dog? Make sure you know the rules first.
In South Africa, breeding dogs requires a breeder’s licence from your local authority. Unlicensed breeding can also contribute to unwanted puppies, health problems, animal suffering and overcrowded shelters.
Be responsible. Be compassionate.
Consider sterilising your pets, adopting from a shelter and supporting responsible pet ownership.
For advice or to report unlicensed breeding, contact BARC.
Every life matters. Every choice counts.
