If irradication of "puppy mills" is the goal then enforcement of the laws and statutes already in place would take care of that. |
This is simply not true, it will not affect breeder having 5 puppies a year. Those breeders that sell 6 dog or more dogs a year will have to keep the name and the address of the people who bought the puppy, and they will also be required to provide vet information. Is that any reason to vote No? Good breeders already do this.
This bill will have a serious impact on Commercial Dealers, and Puppy brokers. In order to be considered a commercial dealer you have to sell 10 or more litter a year. That's a lot of dogs. There's a thread going on in the Breeding forum
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...-breeders.html . I wanted to learn more about the bill before I chose to support it, but after the discussion there, it will not have much impact on the home breeder, none on those who sell 5 puppies and very little impact on those who produce under 10 litters, you have to keep the name and address of customer, like I stated earlier.
Is it too late to support this law?
