You seem to be doing well with your feeding. Be sure to moisten the mousse with little formula....the recipe for the formula I use to supplement newborns in in the breeders section....baby needs some liquid....I would call that woman and tell her I took that baby to the vet and he assures me that baby is only about 4-5 weeks old, and I am going to report her. Is your baby registered with AKC? I would get the date off the registration papers and contact AKC as well.....she is obviously falsifying registration papers. |
It is only illegal for a "licensed breeder" to sell dogs before 8 weeks of age in Texas. In Texas, a "Dog or cat breeder” means a person who possesses 11 or more adult intact female animals and is engaged in the business of breeding those animals for direct or indirect sale or for exchange in return for consideration and who sells or exchanges, or offers to sell or exchange, not fewer than 20 animals in a calendar year.
Most of the laws on the books are very specific. Only a few states have laws pertaining to "anyone" who sells a dog.
Here in Michigan, we have an 8 week law, but it only applies to pet stores. Most dogs offered for sale here in local and state newspapers (both print & online) are 6-8 weeks old.
