USDA license??? Please don't hate me for asking this question....
But I always thought USDA licensed was a bad thing, a warning to stay away from those breeders. Are they all bad or is this a misconception?? Are there really some good reputable breeders out there that are USDA licensed??
I applied for a kennel license in my county as I am starting up a breeding program and right now it is sooo much cheaper to get a kennel license than to pay seperately for each dog. But the dog warden told me that I would also have to be USDA licensed and be inspected by them. She said I shoulden't have any problems getting approval because of the way I take good care of my babies. But I really don't like that idea, especially if people will stay away if I am USDA licensed. Plus I want to have a good reputation and I am not sure if USDA licensed would make people think otherwise. My dogs don't live in a kennel, they are my babies and all live in the house with me and get spoiled rotten, I coulden't have it any other way.
So do I just skip the kennel license all together?? What is your opinion on this?? Right now I feel very uneasy about the whole idea of it all and would love to hear what you guys think I should do. |
