This will have the effect of taking out many rare dog breeds. Breeders have a pair or 2 who do it out of dedication will just quit rather than risk a federal prosecution. So in the end more dogs will be gone....wait a minute what part of the world considers dogs to be vermin....right! that’s the muslim world, this is creeping SHARIA!!!!!! slow but sure
Exactly, it will impact people who may not necessarily be large-scale breeders but have breeding dogs. It will impact me, I have German Shepherds, I only have one or two litters a year. As a default, if you ship your puppies (I do not), you would automatically have to be inspected. This will cause bloodlines to be fixated in certain areas, you would never have diversity, unless a person wishes to allow inspections. From glancing over at what they have outlined on the website, it looks above and beyond any state regulations.
I kind of wondered how this will work. If you sell ANY puppies over the internet or sight unseen, even tho you also sell puppies locally? When I was actually showing and breeding, I did sometimes sell a puppy to someone in another state via word of mouth with only phone contact and photos, videos, etc. Does this mean I would have suddenly come under this legislation if I had 4 or more intact females? I think this could hit many hobby/show breeders if it does. As always, the Federal Government wants to be in our lives, but they use the excuse it’s “for the children” or “the sweet little abused puppies”.
In fact, I currently do not breed (I have a beautiful champion bitch with all of her clearances who will not have a litter) mostly because I live where there is an onerous breeder permit law. I do pay a 75$ licensing fee for the privilege of not spaying her yet. I would have never thought Americans would agree that the government could tell them what surgery they had to do to their dogs. We live in CrazyTown.
