Exemption from microchipping
Working dogs that herd or drive stock do not have to be microchipped unless they:
- are classified as menacing or dangerous
- have been impounded.
Working dogs that are a menacing or dangerous breed and used for security or pest control need to be de-sexed and microchipped.
