Some of us feel there already were perfectly adequate laws on the books and would prefer to see more resources directed to enforcing those than to adding more laws that will be haphazardly applied. |

Q. How will this affect retailers who sell their animals to buyers in face-to-face transactions at a location other than their own premises? A. The proposed rule is designed to close a loophole in the current regulations that allows pet animals to be sold sight-unseen, without any oversight by the public or APHIS. Pet animal retailers who sell their animals to their customers in face-to-face transactions at a location other than their own premises are subject to some degree of public oversight and therefore are not the focus of this proposed rule and would not need to obtain a license. Where does it say you must "sanitize you home?" Again, I think you are believing the propaganda sites. Have you read this? http://www.aphis.usda.gov/publicatio...l_pets_faq.pdf |

Well, we've all got to give up some things we now enjoy about the way it is in order to try to help dogs stacked in filthy pens in astounding numbers and totally ignored except for their reproductive prowess. I'll be willing to pay more taxes, wait to get a dog from a breeder, have a less perfect dog for way more money - whatever as we just can't keep letting the forgotten ones keep on being the last ones to get what they want or need. If the dog-buying public is going to have to get slammed and it results in fewer breeders operating, is that a price we just can't pay? Or is it all just hopeless and we have to accept the status quo? And live with the horror stories and keep our mouths shut because no one will accept less freedom or rights or sales or oversight than exist now? |

Its not an internet sale that would concern me its like Gemy said meeting a breeder at a shw and say years later they are on one sie of the country then I come up on their wait list...can they no longer sen a pup via Currier? I have to travel across the country with my fam, okay ifthat is so but s that what it now reuires. |
Just a thought why cant a up mill then use a mock home yo display and sell hundreds of pups from? They can purchase from individual breeders transport as they already do have a compliant home and resale there no part of this stops that senario...and a broker was just outes in SF, CA for this, she was over the city limit numbers multiple times. |

Good Point! Quote:
My fear is the animal rights extremists, PETA, HSUS, ASPCA, who are usually behind the legislation. All breeders are bad in their minds. They won't rest until humans are no longer allowed to own pets. I would support laws that promote good breeding practice and crush puppy mills. |

Section 3.1 of the AWA (1) (c)Surfaces--(1) General requirements. The surfaces of housingfacilities--including houses, dens, and other furniture-type fixtures andobjects within the facility--must be constructed in a manner and made ofmaterials that allow them to be readily cleaned and sanitized, or removed orreplaced when worn or soiled. Interior surfaces and any surfaces that come incontact with dogs or cats must: And Yes I have read the APHIS FAQ sheet; may I remind you and everyone, a FAQ is not the proposed law; but an interpretation that APHIS or if you will an explanation that APHIS has offered; what is to say if this regulation passes that "their" preliminary interpretation can't change over time???? Again I say, meeting someone at a show, buying a puppy at retail in a pet store, does NOTHING to police and or guarantee the health and good breeding of the puppy. In my example the prospective buyer was sent all details of the parents, actually had met the sire at a show 2yrs ago, the details enable them to verify all health checks done; the face to face meeting of the puppy confirmed their choice. They did not visit my home to see how I kept my babies. It is laughable that APHIS purports to assert that a visit to a pet store, or even once to a breeders' home constitutes any real amount of oversight.:thumbdown I don't know what the answer is. It truly is appalling to me that folks sell over the internet in order to bypass what-ever legal loopholes there are. I will also say although it is a moot point to this regulation; there "should" be regulations that say any "commercial breeder" who deigns to advertise "purebred" dogs, MUST do all health checks that are required to receive a CHIC number. No health checks no LICENSE. Nancy; there is a Huge Philosphical difference between "hobby breeders" and commercial enterprises. And that is the crux of the issue as I see it. I do not and will not keep my pups and my dogs according to AWA guidelines; which I think are hopelessly inadequate in terms of rearing, raising well bred, socialized pet companions. It is not about the "licensing" fee at all, but about the appalling restrictions under which I would have to rear my pups!! The appalling restrictions that would force me to place a retired female, in order to make room under the regulations to have another. I have said it once, and I will say it again, you want to "police" internet sales, then do it through the internet. Don't do it on the backs of small breeders who put their heart, their love, and their finances into breeding only the best of the best!. |

This is intended to regulate those internet sites with one click shopping. You've seen sites with PayPal or Master card, etc.? Reputable breeders don’t place their dogs that way. The commercial breeders who sell that way have no regulations, they need no licensing and so their dogs are treated in the most inhumane ways. They are fighting this because they don’t want to be inspected, and they also don’t want anyone to know how many dogs they are selling. Most people who start a business, need some type of license, why should a dog breeder not have a license? |
