I'm no lawyer but I think that any item sold must be fit for the purpose intended. This would seem to include puppies, I would think. As for the vet records, why couldn't anyone just say they had sold less than 6 pups and forget about records altogether? While that may not wash with a large scale breeder, there would be many that are over the limit of 5 that would just say they weren't. Again, just another example of this bill not being thought through. From the enforcement aspect alone, this bill would be a nightmare.
