If YOU could write your local laws on breeding, what would YOU want?
by
If you were given the opportunity to be involved in writing the local laws, what do you think would be fair?
We all know that we feel we need our rights to own and breed. However, by giving us those full rights, what do we do about the local BYB that pump out puppies all the time with ads in the local paper?
Do you think requirements of showing, and/or belonging to a club or breed organization, etc. would be fair?
Would you go so far to say they must be AKC registered, and not one of the off the wall registries?
Do you think health testing and microchipping your dogs and puppies before being sold is fair?
A lot of places have a 3 dog maximum, spayed or neutered, or provide a "Breeders Permit" for up to 6 dogs. If you were allowed to change that, what do you think the numbers and requirements should be??
How would you define the difference of a reputable breeder with proper care of the animals vs how some "BYB" have many dogs in crates stacked two or three high? You all know there are some like that, that you would "not approve". So, what are your ideas of what would be fair, what would be right?
I am asking this as we have the opportunity in Las Vegas to help "rewrite" the local county ordinances, with the commission realizing some of the laws are from the 70's and 80's and need updating.
Please help with your ideas and let's discuss this. Perhaps we can create a model for a fair law that could be used elsewhere.
Thanks
