Queensland activists and kennel owners are at odds, due to weak puppy farm laws and applications for breeding facility expansions.
There are no laws restricting the number of breeding dogs a single facility may house in Queensland.
The point of contention has arisen thanks to Diamond Valley Kennels application to the Sunshine Coast Council for a new facility in Landsborough to have 100 breeding kennels.
Owner, Lisa Howlett says her expansion plans are in response to the "huge demand" for designer breeds, but activists disagree.
The application has been a catalyst for Oscar's Law, an Australia-wide not-for-profit volunteer organisation which lobbies for change to what it calls "Queensland's weak puppy farm laws".
