Think of all the things you can do, and all the places you can go, anytime you want to! This is a blessing in disguise for you, sis...this passion of yours has you nailed to the house, 24/7....and you dont even make ends meet! It takes your additional income to support this business..... Move on, keep some of your own babies so you will have healthy babies to fool with and love, and let it go.....you can still have dogs, just not breeding them....all the fun and love of dogs and none of the expense and worry." He is making sense to me......I could not handle the HSUS, SPCA, and local yokel gestapo banging on my door, invading my home, confiscating my dogs, leaving me with nothing by a broken heart and huge fines for non compliance....I am done with this! 2013 will be the final act for Rosehill Yorkies.

These laws will be hard to enforce when it comes to someone breeding their personal pets. What I would like to know is how can government tell you how much personal belongings you can have. Dogs are not livestock in America, they are personal property. Big brother should not be making laws to tell you what you can do with your personal property, it's unconstitutional. You can thank the animal rights activist for this one. The HSUS pushed for this and came out smelling like a rose. For all the knucklehead that sent in their 19.00 donations to the HSUS, you gave them the power to do this to you. For all you so called do everything right dog breeders that were quick to call the home hobby breeder a BYB breeders, you did this, now its coming back to bite you in your own a$$ets. AKC is worried, as they should be because people will stop registering their litters with them and all the other registries out there so there will be no paper tail on the puppies they produce. It will go back to the era before the first registry ( the Kennel Club) was created. People will be selling their litters with a simple birth certificate and health guarantee within their own state. For all you home breeders that have a commercial looking website displaying all your breeding males and female, take it down! Best to sell your dogs through networking in private groups on Facebook, something that is becoming more and more popular. Just remember under the Economical Bill of Rights you have the right to farm your animal to support you families. I for one still believe in our constitution , and will exercise my 4th amendment rights if they ever come knocking on my door. AND IF THEY COME TO YOURS DON'T LET THEM IN WITHOUT A PROPER SEARCH WARRENT FROM YOUR STATES DISTRICT ATORNEY'S OFFICE. The USDA can't even keep up with inspecting their list of USDA breeders now. I'd like to see this broke ass governmet try to enforce their unconstitutional laws on Joe Citizen. WAFJ
