Some very large scale, some very small.
Look, I am not here to argue because I know that the people here, responding to this thread are NOT the problem. You do things that way it should be done without necessary regulations, fees, fines, and anyone checking up on you. I know good an well where the problem is. Do I have the answers, of course not. I really do believe we ALL have a part in the responsibility. You have the mills (I refuse to call them breeders) putting out the puppies, but you also have so called registeries allowing it in that they create a registery for everything. Everyone's hand is in the pot! |
You know I'm really not about imposing laws, I'm against big government. I firmly believe the laws of licensing your dogs was put in place as government money maker. My dogs are in my backyard....it's my backyard and kept clean for my dogs to play in.....why should I have to pay a liscense fee when I already pay insurance and taxes on my house.
A bit off track but, we as breeders do more when we breed dogs than most people do before they decide to have a family.....
But, reputable breeders aren't afraid of resonable fees, the one of imposing a fee if your dog ends up in the shelter, is not far fetched.
