You're right in that some of the things I addressed would apply to, according to the bill, the 'commercial breeder'. Did you notice that the warranty of pups only applies to the commercial breeder, too? That's silly on the face of it. Would a breeder in Indiana have no obligation to warrant the health of a pup unless they fit the 'commercial breeder' designation? If so, that would be a HUGE loophole. If you think that,of course, the health guarantee should carry over to the 'pet dealer', then why wouldn't you think the kennel requirements wouldn't also, since they're both specifically addressed only under the 'commercial breeder' heading. This bill, to me, is just a mess. BTW, the AKC is against this bill, too. Make of that what you will but they refer to it as a 'breeder restriction bill', not a puppy mill bill.
