Please forward this update to those in Ohio who may be impacted:

On March 13, 2013, Ohio enacted a new law that requires commercial dog breeders 
and rescues to be licensed by the state.  As a result of this new law, the Ohio 
Department of Agriculture is requiring that the following 
individuals/organizations be licensed by June 13, 2013:

        • All rescues operating in Ohio – The Ohio Department of Agriculture is 
keeping a database of all rescues in the state, including foster homes utilized 
by the rescue organization.   Rescues will not be required to comply with the 
other provisions of the law, and will only be inspected if there is a 
complaint.  Rescues must complete the application at this link and return it to 
the Department before the June 13 deadline.  There is no application fee.
 
        • All high volume commercial dog breeders – The law defines this as 
anyone who both produces 9 litters of puppies AND sells 60 dogs or puppies in a 
calendar year.  Both criteria must be met to be considered a high volume 
breeder and subject to the licensing and other requirements.  Visit the Ohio 
Department of Agriculture’s website for links to the breeder application and 
other information required to obtain a license. 
The regulations outlining the standards required for high volume breeders have 
not yet been published.  Breeders are encouraged to contact the Ohio Department 
of Agriculture at (614) 728-6220 or animal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for more information, 
and for any questions and concerns.

AKC Government Relations will continue to monitor this issue and provide more 
information as it becomes available.
