250 Labradoodles surrendered to RSPCA Tasmania sparks calls for puppy farm regulation reform.

RSPCA Tasmania and advocates call for an end to "puppy farms" after the surrender of over 250 Labradoodles in Tasmania. Following an out-of-court agreement with a state's largest dog breeder, RSPCA Tasmania CEO Andrea Dawkins suggests new laws should include caps and age limits on breeding bitches and litter numbers, as well as a mandatory code of practice for breeders, with the Tasmanian government reviewing regulations to prevent over-breeding, stamp out puppy farms, and improve welfare for dogs.
