I am a small kennel breeder in MO, and I think that unless you have several litters a yr, you would be considered a "hobby breeder", and the only rules would be the ones agreed to by you and anyone adopting your pups. They should be dewormed, vacinated, tails docked, dew claws removed, and weaned from the mom. Any puppy should be eating dry puppy kibble prior to leaving the mom. Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can help further. Oh yes, of they are registered, AKC, APRI, ACA, UKC, etc. you must apply for a litter application so the pups can be registered.
