You would hope common sense would rule, and NOT greed. She could have had a framed puppy photo for anyone that wanted to give a V-day gift and then pick the puppy up at a proper age - this is very sad.  |
I thought MOST states had laws, but it the other way around MOST states don't have laws.
Overview of Puppy Age Sale Laws Quote:
|
Approximately fifteen states have laws that state how old a puppy must be before it is offered for sale or adopted out to an owner. Three additional states have administrative regulations that give a minimum age for puppy sales. Of those states with laws, thirteen require that a puppy be at least eight weeks old before being offered for sale. Of the remaining five states, two states (Pennsylvania and Virginia) mandate that a puppy be at least seven weeks old and one state (Nebraska) requires that a puppy reaches six weeks. Two states do not speak to a definitive age; rather, these two states (Illinois and Nevada) make it unlawful for to sell a puppy who has not been weaned from his or her mother.

Tennessee has no law.
