Is there a specific dog area so I am not classified with puppymillers?? |
The USDA enforces the Animal Welfare Act along with it's many other responsibilities. High volume commercial kennels who wholesale puppies to brokers and pet stores are required to have a Class A Breeder's License. This is entirely separate from the USDA requirements for your goats.
