There are no statutory rules relating to cross breeding of dogs.

The normal rules, enshrined in the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013, relating to not causing unnecessary suffering to, and not being negligent or reckless regarding the welfare of, an animal apply to this, as to every other activity relating to an animal.
