Animal regulations Dogs Working dogs
For your dog/s to be qualified as a Working Dog under the Animal Management (Cats & Dogs) Act 2008 you must answer yes to all of the following questions:
1. Are you a primary producer?
A 'Primary Producer' is a person who's main occupation is a farmer (dairy, grain, cane, fruit, grazier, etc.)
2. Do you live on Rural land?
Just being zoned Rural Land does not qualify you under the new Act. Rural land for the purpose of the legislation means your land is used for grazing stock or cultivating crops on a commercial basis.
3. Is your dog a working dog?
This means your dog/s is usually kept on rural land (as outlined above) and is kept/ownedby a primary producer (as outlined above), or a person engaged or employed by a primary producer, and is used primarily for the purpose of droving, protecting, tending, or working, stock and has not been declared a dangerous or menacing dog (prescribed under Animal Management (Cats & Dogs) Regulation 2009) (opens in a new window).
If you said 'no' to any of the above questions, your dog/s do not qualify as a 'working dog'
