Sec. 6-49. – Hobby breeder.

A person shall be considered a hobby breeder if they offer for sale or donation no more than one litter of animals during a 12-month period per household. A hobby breeder will not be subject to the registration procedures applicable to animal establishments and breeders as designated in this article. Hobby breeders shall only distribute such animals through private residences and may not be affiliated with any pet shop, breeder or animal establishment. Under this definition, a household which sells or donates two litters during a 12-month period, even if the litters are produced from different animals, will not be considered a hobby breeder and will be subject to the registration procedures applicable to animal establishments and breeders as designated in this article. Hobby breeders shall be required to register themselves as a “hobby breeder” with City of Dallas Community Development Department, provided however, that there shall be no cost to the hobby breeder to register.
