to understand the proposed APHIS rule changes. does any of this apply to you? Do you care? Do you want the more involved explanations? Let me know http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2011-0003-0001 Howe the New Proposed Regulations Will Affect You as a Breeder Do you own four or fewer intact bitches? NO? | | Is every animal you sell whelped and raised in your home/facility? NO? | | Does everyone who buys an animal from you come to your home/facility NO? | | You will have to become a USDA Licensed Facility AND Do you own four or fewer intact bitches? YES? | | I Is every animal you sell whelped and raised in your home/facility? YES? | | ****If you sell co or non-owned dogs, rehomed dogs, does everyone who buys an animal from you come to your home/facility? YES? | | You do not need a USDA License This is what people seem to be sticking on... If you sell those whelped and raised on your own property (4 or more undefined breeding females in the proposed rules) you may sell anywhere, anyhow. You may still sell anywhere, anyhow, those stud pups, rehomed dogs, etc, to an end purchaser (no wholesale) IF the purchaser sees the purchase at your home or facility. The rule needs comments on how this would affect you. http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2011-0003-0001 ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
