A commercial breeder is different than a "Pet dealer" a pet dealer is simply someone who sells more than 5 dogs a year. If you sell more than 5 dogs, you have to keep a record of who you sold them to, their name and address that's all. You have to also keep for two years any vet information you have on the dog. You do not have to keep any financial information on the transaction. Just name and address of buyers, and vet information should be available for buyers to see.
I actually think they are making the Pet Dealer catagory so they can get more information from people who work as puppy brokers. There are a lot of people who act like they are small breeder who don't breed at all, but are actually puppy brokers, and it's a serious problem.
