YT 2000 Club Donating Member | LINK to APHIS NEW REGULATION http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/ani...ml#post3940248 I am posting this here in hopes that the breeder members of this forum, if not alerted to this new regulation, will now be! The link above takes you to my post in the Animal Protection and Welfare Forum. This will affect you if you sell even one puppy "sight unseen". That being where the actual buyer does NOT come to your home, to see the puppy prior purchase. This is a Federal Regulation, and therefor will cover all States. If you want to sell puppies sight unseen, you will be required to be licensed like all the USDA breeders, keep puppies in kennels etc, etc, all the reg's that the current high volumne breeders are subject to. This legislation in my opinion does nothing to protect the public, and who is going to be hurt by this are you guessed, the high quality low volumne hobby breeders. It will particularly hurt our rare breeds, where due to their very rarity, often times their are not qualified buyers with-in a reasonable travel distance. Forget about meeting buyers at shows, where they can see your breeding dogs, and at a later time, meeting the buyer at another show to drop off your puppy! You will come under this regulation! Go to the government site and make your comments heard!

| Thanks for pointing this out, Gemy, I was recently forced to sell my Massachusetts home at a major financial loss in order to get away from its increasingly breeder hostile legal environment. The harassment was oppressive, and I'm a reputable breeder. These extremists do not distinguish good from bad breeders. They think we're all bad. I'm in New Hampshire now where people are still protective enough of their freedom that the state follows well balanced policies regarding the keeping of animals. Seeing this now coming at us at the federal level is very scary indeed. This is not just for breeders to pay attention to. Anyone out there who has ever loved a pet should be very concerned to see that our government is about to deprive us of that pleasure and comfort. PETA and HSUS are very bad organizations who are pushing extremist agendas that will deprive your grandchildren of pets.
