Bar on importing dog for breeding

NGOs such as HSI and PFA urged the government to impose ban on importing dogs for breeding arguing that such foreign breeds end up on roads and increase street-dog population.
The Director General of Foreign Trade have by notification said importing dogs for defense or for conducting research or for keeping as pet dogs provided having valid pet book relevant documents in the name  of the importer.
Breeders feel the ban order is a reaction of newspaper reports about Bangaluru based breeder who have spent Rs. 2 crore to get two Korean Mastiff  puppies. They feel for such commercial breeders, all breeders should not be penalized.
