National Dog Database
The National Dog Database (NDD) holds information on all registered dogs including registration detail, microchip number (if applicable), breed and year of birth. The name, address and date of birth details of owners are also recorded.
Local councils supply and maintain information held on the database, established by The Department of Internal Affairs. The information is accessible to councils and is not available to the general public. Breed and Colour lists are available from local councils.
Amended Dog Control and National Dogs Database Regulations Two Orders in Council (OIC) made under the Dog Control Act 1996 (the Act) commenced on 30 September 2006:
- The Dog Control NDD Levy Order 2006 (140k)* a) lists the levies payable by each territorial authority for 2006/07; and b) provides that in subsequent financial years, costs are allocated using the formula previously agreed by Cabinet (a 10% flat fee for all territorial authorities excluding the Chatham Islands, a variable portion of 45% based on the registered dog population in the city/district and a variable portion of 45% based on the human population of the city/district).
The Orders will assist in implementing the Government’s dog control policy, and there are no new policy or financial decisions included. The changes to the microchipping provisions of the Dog Control Act made by Parliament have no effect on either of the Orders.
