Here are my opinions on a few points of the law. "Anyone who sells five or more dogs to the public in a year will be classified as a pet dealer. Thus, in many cases, even having a single litter of puppies will require extensive record-keeping of all dogs sold and all veterinary records, and require the dog owner to make that information available to law enforcement officials and potential pet buyers. This provision also will allow animal rights activists to go on legal fishing expeditions by posing as puppy buyers." "What is wrong with the idea that people selling dogs should be required to keep extensive records and all veterinary records, and this information be available, to law enforcement officials and potential pet buyers? Don't good breeders do this now? So many breeders lie to potential customers, and this would allow the pet buyer access to important information. Sure even animal rights activists might pose as potential customers, but they do this now anyway." 
Well said Nancy! I agree whole heartily!
"The definition of commercial dog breeder will entrap many serious hobbyists who are working hard to improve the breed of dogs they own. Anyone who produces 10 or more litters of puppies will fall under this category."
Ten litters is quite alot of puppies. Yes this will be obtained in a few years with serious breeders, but if they are respectable breeders there will be little to worry about with their records and the laws.
"It also will be illegal for anyone to possess more than 30 dogs that have not been spayed or neutered. Many serious breeders keep all of their retired dogs for the rest of their lives, and also are working with and evaluating several young dogs. Having 30 dogs does not indicate that a kennel is commercial"
I agree that having 30 dogs does not indicate that a kennel is commercial, but having 30 dogs that have not been spayed or neutered is a bit extreme. I know that many serious breeder keep all of their retired dogs, but by that time (if their still not showing them) they will have had them spayed or neutered, so I am thinking having more than 15 is pushing it. A good breeder shouldn't have more than that in my opinion (7 dams, and 8 sires or something like that).
Having 30 dogs does not indicate that a kennel is commercial. These breeders would be required to microchip all dogs and puppies, and to obtain veterinary certification before breeding a dog. The legislation also would create a strict puppy lemon law.
That would be great!! Don't most respectible breeders do this anyways?
"Outdoor housing will be banned for these kennels, which is hazardous for dogs that are used for hunting, herding and other activities. The bill requires temperatures between 65 and 78 degrees at all times. Most human homes in Indiana could not meet that requirement! Working dogs do their jobs in all kinds of weather, and it is dangerous for them if they are not acclimated to the conditions they will face. It is cruel, absurd and reckless to pass a law that forces people to keep sled dogs, hunting dogs or herding dogs in a heated environment, when those dogs will face winter weather extremes."
I feel that there may need to be something added into this section of the bill for those who raise working dogs. I agree that the conditions would be ideal for the puppy growing up, and then at 8-12 weeks they can have the right to be transfered to cooler weather depending on the breeds. This way the puppy has the warmth to stay healthy and then they can also have the adjustment time to the cooler weather before they go to their new homes.
We can't all have the laws go our way unfortunatly, but there are always ways that we can work with them.
