The Code of Practice for the Responsible Breeding of Animals with Heritable Defects that cause Disease was gazetted on 18 June 2009, and is now in effect. This code was made under Section 7 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

The code outlines breeding practices that will assist in reducing the prevalence of heritable defects in animal populations especially those diseases regulated by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

The code was developed in consultation with a working group of stakeholders with expertise in animal welfare, animal genetics, veterinary science,
commercial breeding and genetic testing. It aims to educate animal breeders on how to minimise or avoid breeding heritable defects in animals.

The Code is available by visiting www.dpi.vic.gov.au/animalwelfare

16th June 2009

The ANKC has resolved that the Allowable Colours listing be discontinued as a mandatory document for registration. The colours, variations and patterns as stated in the current Breed Standards will be the criteria for registration on the Main Register. Dogs with colours, variations or patterns not in the Breed Standard will be registered on the Limited Register.
