Kirsten Naperville, IL 11/7/2010 11:38:39 PM Galadriel, I believe that that is the point; selling puppies should not be done for monetary profit. Generally speaking people lose more money than they gain in this business. However, breeders gain the knowledge and contentment in that they continued their specialized breed so that healthy puppies are being born that people can identify with in terms of personality traits. 50 dogs is way more than enough for a breeder to responsibly care for. Although I do have a question, is the 50 limit in terms of 50 dogs/bitches for breeding, or 50 counting dogs, bitches, and puppies?
Kim South Bend, IN 11/6/2010 7:09:56 PM I sincerely hope that Mr. Maddox was joking when he said that breeders going out of business would affect the availability of dogs. Unless our dog over population crisis was solved overnight and I wasn't aware?
Galadriel Lothlorien, ME 11/5/2010 5:46:31 PM I'm disappointed in this. Too much government interference. 5o dogs is not very many if it's your source of income. I think that rather they should set up inspections to ensure quality care.
