It's sad to be forced to do something it's called a dictatorship in my opinion and I being responsible "REQUIRE" spay and neuter on pet quality puppies. It's not gonna stop the puppymills or byb's because it's going to be hard to enforce.
There is NOT ENOUGH EDUCATION to the public when it comes to owner responsiblity! And I refuse to spay/neuter at 4 months. If it were to happen in my county I will just go to the next county over that doesn't require it and register my dogs there....always around these things....think about those people that don't vaccinate after the first round of shots....I'm not wild about over vaccinating my dogs in the first place....can't tell you when the last time some of my dogs had their rabies shot because they are not exposed to the wild animals or rabbits and rabies isn't common in my area they are kept indoors and if outside are heavily supervised....They have their first rabies shot at a year and then 3 years later and after that no more....so there are always ways around this...
But the point is it's going to be hard on the small reputable/responsible breeders if this keeps up, PETA being the culprit in all this mess....they are the ones putting down shelter dogs and they are nothing but progranda!
