I also don't approve of selling puppies to at such a low price, they are probably going to puppy mill breeders, or brokers. So many labs are rehomed, the buyer doesn't always understand the special needs of a lab, and it's up to the breeder to inform them of this. Finding the right home, is more important than what you charge.

Basically, I think you are saying that the law requires people who breed sell more than 5 dogs a year, to be registered. I think this is great, this doesn't mean that they need to be registered as a "commercial breeder", but just a pet dealer, and isn't that what they are, if they are selling 5 dogs a year? All it's asking is that you keep adequate records and pet records, if you are too busy for this, you shouldn't be breeding.


By the way, I asked which part of the law says that you must only keep three females.

I agree with everything you said...we don't need more pets born in this country until we figure out how to find loving homes for all the surplus.

I also would like to make a comment in regards to this statement "PUPPY MILLS DO NOT OPERATE WITH AKC MEMBERSHIP OR UNDER THEIR OBSERVATION!" as this is simple not true per the AKC website and their decision on registering "Volume Dealers".
