JMO But I don't believe that the USDA does a very good job of policing the puppymills. The miller can set up one very nice kennel to get licensed and to use for inspections, then go on to keep dogs in buildings off the premesis.
The licensing is just like the AKC registration, it gives people a false sense of security. |

It's a bill that would require breeders who sell more than 50 dogs yearly directly to the public to have licensed kennels and also beef up USDA's powers.
