If your breeding program is based in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), Queensland (QLD) or South Australia (SA) - you MUST have a state registration - it is a legal requirement to have one as a dog breeder.

Failure to provide a valid State Registration/Supply Number:


Breeders that do not provide a State Registration Number (where it is a legal requirement) WILL NOT be able to be verified and published until they do so.

Breeders that have a verified and active profile on RightPaw, and continue to breed with a non-active, expired or suspended State Registration Number will be at risk of being removed from the RightPaw website. Please keep all your details up-to-date and inform the RightPaw team if/when any of these details change.
