How many dogs can we have?

[Aimz]

How many dogs is one household allowed to have in NSW?

I already have two gorgeous puppies. But my friend rescued a puppy from some kids who were about to drown her last night and I REALLY WANT TO TAKE HER!!!!!

She is the most gorgous little thing and in much need of a loving home.

I don't want to put my hand up until I know if it's ok for us to have 3 dogs though!!

HELP!

It's a loacl coincil issue. Ring them and the person on the counter will probably know (they seem to know just about everything lol).
In my council you can have as many as you like so long as they don't cause a smell or impact upon the neighbours adversly (so it's pretty open to interpratation).

IMO any more than 4 and you're starting to venture down the path into crazy cat/dog person territory unless you're a breeder.

Thanks! Just rang council and they said there wasn't a limit as long as they are all registered!!

Now to convince DH... shouldn't be too hard - this little one is SOOO freaking CUTE!! We have a HUGE backyard and two very sociable pups. She would be so happy!

My mum currently has three dogs at her house - her one & my sisters two.

I'm hanging for DH to call me back!!

I keep looking at the little darling's photo - I am absolutely in love with her! I can't imagine why anyone would want to hurt her. I would have KILLED those boys if it had been me who found her.

at one point we had six here with no drama - not breeders, just working dogs and my little yappers

i believe in some shires they will ask you to get your neighbours to sign that they're ok with that many animals (ours does) so that they know neighbours are aware of how many you are keeping.

we never had a drama having that many here cos we're only in a small town and the dogs are usually away from the fenceline we share with another house. we have had up to 8 here at times while parents were on holidays and no complaints...

Lucky girl!! Our council only allows us to have 2 dogs. Lucky the limit for chooks in 12!

DH is umming and ahhing and said that we'll talk about it tonight.

I am armed with two gorgeous photos of the little one to try and persuade him!!

Aww...hope your DH says yes!! But you know...if you just take her anyway, I'm sure he wouldn't be able to tell you to give her back!!
As Brontide said, and as you found out, there is no limit in Wagga on how many dogs/cats you have, so long as they are microchipped and registered and don't start causing a nuisance (either by roaming, barking etc.) but you guys sound like very responsible pet owners so I'm sure they will be fine! You don't need to notify neighbours or get them to sign papers or anything like that...

And I can tell you now, there are plenty of places in Wagga with at least 5 or 6 dogs...there was a place a while ago that had over 40 little yappers (maltese/foxies etc) on the property So three is no problem at all!
