You Might Need a USDA License If :
from web site:http://www.ncraoa.com/PDF/YouMightNeedUSDALicenseIf.pdf

This is the document they read off at my all breed dog club meeting and showed it affected all of us.

1) If you sell that stud fee puppy that just didn't turn out the way you wanted-- guess what you are a third party/
broker and you might need a USDA license.
2) You already bred 2 of your bitches and there are 17 puppies on the ground and registered. That darn bitch you
co-own just had 12 puppies ---- you might need a USDA license.
3) If you are a handler and you come back from Crufts with dogs purchased for your clients YOU might need a
USDA license.
4) If you are a handler and your clients bring their litters to you to sell YOU might need a USDA license
5) If you are that breeder who had their handler sell your puppies, your handler must turn you in and YOU might
need a USDA license
6) If you have great lines and want to sell your dogs to another show/breeder (even part interest) YOU might
need a USDA license
7) If you don't alter your puppies before they leave and one of your pet puppies is bred you just sold breeding
stock and YOU might need a USDA license
8) If “oops” you sell an Irish Wolfhound and his new owner actually uses the breed to hunt You just sold a hunting
dog and YOU might need a USDA license
9) If you breed just one litter in a year, but decide to sell one or two of your retired show dogs, YOU might need a
USDA license.
10) If your breeding partner, who co-owns all your queen cats with you, breeds and raises more than three litters
in one year in her home and you do the same in your home, YOU BOTH might need USDA licenses.
11) If your popular stud dog breeds five bitches belonging to other breeders, on your premises, and you, in turn,
use him to breed just two of your bitches, YOU might need a USDA license.
12) If you breed no more than one or two litters in a year, but do some private rescue, fostering, and placement
on the side, for which you charge new owners a modest fee just to help with expenses, YOU might need a USDA
license.
13) If you co-own seven or eight bitches, all close in age, none living with you, but all are bred in one year, YOU
might need a USDA license, even if you breed infrequently in your own home.
14) If you are a very small hobby breeder & you buy a puppy from a breeder in CANADA (only a few miles from
your home in the US) you might need a USDA license!
15) If you rescue within the breed you show, and somehow end up with more unaltered animals than the law
allows, you might need a USDA license.
16) If you think “it is not my problem, we should regulate Puppy Mills”. . . YOU might need a USDA license
because DORIS DAY ANIMAL LEAGUE vs VENEMAN ANN will be in Court again and this time DDAL will WIN!
OPPOSE PAWS! Stop It In Committee!!!!
