Here is what a Pet Dealer has to do, again, a Pet Dealer is described as someone who sells 6 or more dogs a year.
Quote:
Chapter 7. Pet Dealers
Sec. 1. A pet dealer must maintain a log containing the:
(1) name;
(2) address;
(3) city; and
(4) state;
of the breeder and broker, if applicable, that provided each puppy sold by the pet dealer. The pet dealer must retain the log for at least two (2) years.
Sec. 2. A pet dealer must maintain veterinary records of every animal sold by the pet dealer. The pet dealer must retain the veterinary records of every animal sold or offered for sale by the
pet dealer for at least two (2) years.
Sec. 3. A pet dealer shall make the breeder log described in section 1 of this chapter available to law enforcement officials.
Sec. 4. A pet dealer shall make the veterinary records described in section 2 of this chapter available to purchasers or prospective purchasers.

This means that the pet dealer has to have the name, address, and city and state, to everyone he sold a puppy to, or where he bought the puppy. This information has to be saved for two years, and made available to law enforcement officers. Now how could law enforcement officers check out anything, if a dealer doesn't even have to give that information? It says nothing about financial records, or how much you sold the dog for. Again people are implying authorities will raid you home and go through you financial records, this is a scare tactic.
The second part says that a pet dealer must retain all veterinary records, for at least two years and this information should be available to the pet buyer, does this sound unreasonable to any of you responsible breeders? A pet buyer should have access to this, many people say they test for various illnesses, but they don't, and this is a way buyers could check it out for themselves.
