I actually think there is nothing necessarily wrong with a place producing lots of dogs, if it's done properly.

I could not disagree more !! Say that place has 500-600 dogs total. They breed 400 bitches once per yr. If 3 in a litter thats 1200 puppies. If they breed every heat for more $$, which they are all about , thats 2400 puppies. There is no possible way a place such as this can do it properly! Properly to me means love and attention, and exercise in the sun/outdoors for the adults, and finding proper homes for the puppies and being raised with human contact. For me the bill is just stupid, period, thats just they way I feel. Nobody that had 6 puppies to sell is going to register ! No BAD commercial breeder is going to register for 10 litters per YR. You could never enforce it. There is not enough inspectors right now in the ASPCA, USDA, or police on the streets, for more important issues! For me the more important issue is getting the USDA to understand dogs are not cattle and should never be housed or care for in this type of condition! They are licensed and have had violations in the past. Still doing business as usual. Why, because they can. They make $500,000 a yr and get a small fine or warning. These illbred dogs go out to 1000's of homes from petstores. How in the world could you socialize 1200-2400 puppies even with loads of employees? Like I said before there is way bigger fish to fry that affects way more dogs, puppies, buyers that are not enforced with the laws and bills we have in place at this time.
