A new law concerning dog breeding went into effect as of Sept 1st 2023. It states: “The law will require dog or cat breeders with five or more (previously 11) adult unspayed females to obtain a license to operate under the Texas Occupations Code. Breeding dogs and cats will be considered a profession, so Texas breeders will be held to a higher standard.” It is my understanding that if you breed dogs to compete (conformation, agility, hunting, etc) than exceptions will be made. We at Supernova Siberians have never wanted to be a large breeding facility. Our dogs are our companions first and foremost and they live and have free reign of our home and yard just like any other pet. Our dogs remain with us even after they “retire’ from breeding. This is their home forever. We have been in compliance with this law from the start. We do not plan on having any more than 4 breeding females at any given time. If that changes will be sure to stay within compliance of the state law.
