Most of us do not make a profit. But what if you transport, co-own another yorkie, or purchase one beautiful dog from out of country. You will need a USDA license. Dogs are classified by the government as agriculture. I know this sounds funny, but this is truth. Then if you need a license you will need to follow USDA guidelines. I have noticed that we do not have as many farmers/farms as in the past. Most of them went bankrupt or was not making enough to provide a living for their family. And as far as I know about AKC from the meeting - breeders only make up 4 percent of their profit. Doris Day organization is helping to fund billions to push this Bill through along with another organization. If passed AKC will be paid to help check records and flag people for inspection. So is the information that AKC is providing actually clear and non-bais? I do not know. I just know that money talks.
