I didn't even know about this Bill until last night. I do not want puppymills. If it is a Bill that would help - I am all for it. I just think that as loving dog owners we need to educate ourselves so that we really know what this Bill is and how it would affect us. From what information I got last night at the meeting - there is just too many loopholes in it as it is now and would be open easily for changes that would affect all pet owners too. If we could just have them be stricter on the puppymills making them close - all the better. Any suggestions? They also said last night that AKC would gain income from this Bill and that show and hobby breeders only make up 4 percent of AKC's income. So if this is true - what does it mean? I am just wanting the best for my dogs and want to keep my babies. I can't afford 20 acres or a 10,000. fine. And I only own 4 yorkies, 2 are males and 1 is a pup. Would this Bill affect me?
