This is an AKC requirement, I said nothing about the government. If you are breeding your dogs must be identified; not collar. Tatoo was done priorly, however, it has gone to MicroChip. AKC sells their Chips/Scanners via their store. Pet ID, DNA of required Sires, Paper Work, identification of each dogs on crates. If you're breeding you need to go and read their requirements. There will be a time that they may inspect you. It doesn't matter if it's 1 litter or 7 litters a year.
By "we" do you mean you. We still have to identify via License, the government requires rabies.
By the way in since you quoted me, the "Hey" was addressing me wasn't it? Not being rude but, I do have a name.
