Are any of your yorkies affected by city ordinances? I have been living on an acreage outside of city limits so have not been affected but I thought I better check on what the rules are in New Mexico since we will be in city limits when we move. Here is what I found all dogs have to be licensed yearly 3.00 for a spayed or neutered dog, 20.00 for unspayed or neutered. You have to have a permit to have puppies even if it was accidental. It is 50.00 for a one time litter permit or 150.00 for a hobby breeder. You can have up to 10 dogs, 15 if you have a breeders permit but only 4 can be unsterilized unless you are granted permission by animal control. No puppies are allowed to be sold or given away at less than 8 weeks of age ( I thought that was a good one!!). Also our HOA says no one can breed for "commercial purposes"--I need to get clarification on that one.
I am wondering what I have gotten myself into!!
