My wife and I know all about this.
Honey Pot Hounds
Breeders of AKC Champion Beagles
The proposed regulations will put responsible hobby breeders out of business, but do absolutely nothing to help close puppy mills (which are already illegal under numerous laws and regs).
Makes you wonder what they really are trying to do, doesn't it?

The Humane Society and PETA are the folks pushing this legislation.
Yo! Stay away from my B*tch$!
Poodles By Design screens new owners and ships healthy beauties.
This move by USDA is going to absolutely bloat the agency beyond all reason, assuming it’s actually followed. This is an absurd “solution” to essentially a non-existent problem and sweeps up large numbers of serious dog and cat lovers who’ve dedicated years to their animals.
Keep in mind, those of you who even think for a minute this is a good thing. Sweeping a breeder who has as few as 4 unspayed, over-4 month old females (who may or may not be in the owner’s breeding program), but who might have sent a puppy to ONE purchaser several states away condemns that seller to NOT being able to let his or her dogs live in the owner’s house. Yes, you read that right. Those dogs are prohibited from ever lying on the couch, by the fire, or having their litters in the owner’s bedroom.
This is horrific for the welfare not only of the dogs, which will not get the socialization needed to make sensible pets, it will destroy people’s lives - those animals are an enormous part of their lives. And, remember, this is nothing but a scheme to bloat government with more unnecessary workers and more bureaucratic layers.
There are already laws on the books to address animal cruelty and neglect. This nightmare of a plan will punish not only the human beings, it will drastically change the lives of their animals - not in a positive way.
