Every time I have tried to communicate with RPBA, the only option is via email, the response either never comes, or takes weeks to come. For the price I’m paying I expected at least some form of two way communication option.

I am so excited to be part of RPBA, thank you for accepting me onto your platform. I am looking forward to sharing my photos & videos.
Outstanding and innovative service for Breeders and Customers – RPBA has taken the time to ensure a quality Vet Audit can be undertaken with an innovation involving online checks and balanced with a variety of other reports. This is an outstanding service to ensure the Breeders are taking good care of their animals and the conditions that they live in. I love this because it means those of us as breeders who… Read more
care and go to the trouble to do things right are in an association of like-minded fellow breeders, as such, the full membership status actually means something for the purchases of our pups. Well done! RPBA Australia
RPBA has been amazing. Extremely helpful with the signup process and quick to respond with any questions. Would 100% recommend them. The vet who did my breeders audit was so lovely and had the same values as I do with loving our pets. They truly have the animals best interests as their goal. Love being able to send a picture or multiple to them for thw RPBA banner to be put on to the picture. Great for social media too.
An incredible association that provides a professional pathway for breed enthusiasts to embrace the most ethical and responsible breeding practices. With outstanding educational resources and ongoing support, it empowers everyone from novice to master to elevate their breeding programs and achieve excellence with integrity.
I’ve found RPBA to be such a good site to find helpful resources, contracts, puppy information, coupons and breeder info packs. Such a well put together site and it’s trustworthy too!

I was overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Finding Responsible Pet Breeders Australia was an absolute game changer. Their platform is incredibly modern, easy to navigate, and packed with support and resources that actually are usefull. From the very first day, I felt part of a real community — not just another number. The team genuinely cares… Read more
and goes above and beyond to guide you through every step, whether it's understanding breeding standards, training, accessing templates, or connecting with buyers who care about animal welfare.
Their commitment to responsible breeding isn’t just talk — they back it up with their own ethical guidelines, vetting processes, and tools that make it easier to do things the right way. I’ve received more qualified enquiries, built trust faster with buyers, and even had vets and families compliment me for being part of RPBA.
If you’re serious about giveing the best care and want to do it the right way — this is where you need to be. Don't hesitate — join today. It’s the best small investment I’ve made for my breeding journey.
Amazing team, I felt well supported. Such a fresh outlook separating them from ‘traditional’ style – I’ve signed up to subscription to Responsible Pet Breeders Australia and they have been 100% supportive of me all the way. I’m a first time breeder & there has been no judgement whatsoever with regards to my skills & capabilities as a breeder. All they truly want to know is that you care (and how much) you care for your animals. Initially, I… Read more
held back on becoming a “full member” because of the Vet audit. I was scared that I wasn’t going to be qualified. I had read through their requirements, ticked all the boxes and just booked that appointment. I passed with flying colors. Now, if you do not pass (and perhaps they pull up on some things); look at this on a positive note and it is something that you can improve on. They are not there to judge you. They are there to help you out in anyway, shape or form. So, do not be scared to become a full member, because it is worth it and you have their full support. All in all, they are there to look out for the best interest of your pets.
As the first time breeder, they have a whole heap of information from whelping to the selling process: requirements, forms, applications, things that you’ve not thought about with regards to becoming an informed breeder/seller. There’s a lot of information there for you, which answers a lot of questions. Don’t do it on your own. They’re there to support you, whilst you support your breed.

Breeder 13454, Lhasa apso pups – I have had the pleasure of purchasing a puppy from Tammi, breeder of Lhasa apso puppies, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her love and dedication to her dogs and pups are evident in every interaction. I was able to watch the pups development through Instagram from birth to adoption. From the very beginning, it was clear that Tammi puts… Read more
a lot of effort into socializing and stimulating her puppies. Each pup is not only well cared for but also well-adjusted and very loved, thanks to her comprehensive approach to their early development.
Tammi was incredibly kind and helpful through my purchasing process. Despite the challenges of an interstate adoption, she went above and beyond to ensure my new pup arrived safely and in perfect health. Her commitment to the wellbeing of her dogs is truly commendable.
My little boy is now 18 months old and is a very healthy, happy and well adjusted little dog with a lovely laid back temperament.
If you’re looking for a responsible and compassionate breeder who genuinely cares for her animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Tammi Sheppard. My experience has been nothing short of fantastic, and I am grateful for the wonderful addition to my family. I would very happily purchase another pup from Tammi.
Positive reviews
I would strongly advise to all buyers to check if your breeders are RPBA members, it makes a huge difference to overall breeding methods. Great group to be a part of.
Loved how easy it was to verify the breeder I was looking at getting a puppy from. The team were amazing at answering my questions and there were so many things I have never thought to ask about when buying a puppy. Cannot wait to bring our new little baby home and the breeder has been so lovely at keeping me updated and helping me get everything organised in advance!

Love being an RPBA member! All the templates have made breeding so much easier and it’s been so amazing having other breeders to talk to about all the crazy that is raising a litter. Recently had my audit completed and had a wonderful time chatting with the vet about everything involved.
Negative reviews
what a joke this company is . They take your money and you never hear from them . I had to report them to get my money back. no emails were answered and no phone number to call. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THESE PEOPLE !
No response from RPBA after notifying them our puppy has hip dysplasia and the breeder never tested the parent dogs despite claiming they did and the breed being predisposed to hip dysplasia. Show details
This is a [Content Removed]. They do not respond to emails, there is no phone number to call, not even an office address. I have a serious complaint to be made and they are completely silent

I’m very happy with my experience with Responsible Pet Breeders Australia. The overall process was smooth and easy to navigate, which made everything stress-free from start to finish. The virtual vet assessment was straightforward and convenient, and the vet was absolutely lovely to deal with. I’m really pleased to be a member and would happily recommend them to others.
Love being a member with RPBA. Recent had my vet audit completed and it was such a great process. I was so stressed out over nothing! The vet was lovely and answered all of my questions (and I had a lot!) Would very much recommend getting your audit done if you have been holding off as it's no where near as scary as your think!
Love being a part of such an inclusive community. Was a bit overwhelmed at first with everything involved with breeding but the whole process has been so great and all the the resources have been such a huge help. Wish I had found RPBA sooner.
Their online tools are super user friendly, and I appreciated the support I received. Just setup a website with them too which was included for me as a member. It’s also encouraging to see their advocacy against puppy farming and their work with local councils.

It has made running things much smoother, easier and more professional. The community has also been helpful. It’s great being able to connect with… Read more
other breeders and share advice when needed. The sign up was smooth, the team has been quick to respond.
As a Victorian member, I’ve also been able to get lifetime discounted registration through my local council just by showing my RPBA membership. That alone has saved me a lot over time. So happy! Thanks again.
Super clear rules and regulations with constant support backing everything i did. I really can't complain about this company. I have used other well known associations with far less support and guidance.
I’m so happy and proud I joined RPBA! Their support, guidance, and commitment to responsible breeding have been invaluable.

Being part of RPBA reassures buyers that I follow ethical standards, which has positively impacted my reputation. The… Read more

RPBA are Top Notch – Very happy with RPBA, amazing knowledge base, assistive and helpful. Professional and caring for our beloved animals. Website easy to use and navigate. Great source of information and the staff are fantastic.
How I felt about my Audit – I had my Audit on Friday with Sam, she was very friendly, I was concerned of what prep I needed to get done prior to this meeting and found out that your really don't need to, she wanted to know where to dogs sleep, where the food is kept, the backyard, then asked some questions that were simple but very relevant like cleaning the dog bedding. my advice to other is don't overthink things when preparing.
Vet Audit – As a first-time breeder I was very nervous about completing the vet audit to become a full member, however, my experience was amazing. I have found RPBA to be a great source of info and support. Thanks team :-)
Easy and stress free – I had put off becoming a RPBA member thinking that it would be too hard and that my breeding set up would not comply. Boy was I wrong! The procedure was clear and simple to complete and the Virtual Vet Audit with Stef was stress free and very useful. Highly recommend becoming a member if you love your babies and want ideas and help in giving them the best life possible.
