Well yeah, I think at most - at the very tippy top maybe allowed to keep 5-6 dogs if the residence is big enough, they show they have enough time, and money for it. Anything else could only be there until they were sold or given. Like it wouldnt apply to the litter if they dont plan to keep the puppies (i.e. they're selling or finding them a home somehow). The one they do keep from the litter for themselves would count for the overall count.
This should be so that small time breeders can still help keep the gene pool fresh(somewhat).
Does make me wonder- does it make any different if the dog is a mutt? does it mean they're less likely to inherit some genetic disease?
