So if a breeders chooses to have more than four unspayed females and sells a pup sight unseen they will be required to convert their house or build a kennel.

I am not so concerned with a breeder needing to be registered. I'm concerned what any inspection could put breeders through. I would stop breeding too if I felt there was any risk of confiscation of my babies!

It isn't so easy to just get a spay exemption bc mst vets only see one side of the situation and I doubt there is a waiver available. And rabies exemotions are by state. In some states there is no such thing as a waiver.

Anyway, I will look at that link. So far we know if dogs have access to the whole house then registered breeders cannot have any carpet along with a ton of other stuff. Specifically stated by the AWA all dogs have to wear collars (note it doesn't say harnesses). The AwA is meant for big businesses that don't care. That is a problem. The comfort of a hobby breeder's dogs will be traded for surfaces that can be saniized.

And there are plenty of bybs online that have less than 5 females doing awful things. These were random rules pulled out of nowhere to try to regulate something in the wrong way.

A hobby breeder could either sell no pup sight unseen or have less than 5 females. But what if a good breeder doesn't follow this and has to register? Their dogs are in for a miserable change when they are shoved to a detached kennel.
