Somebody who breeds 4 or 5 bitches a year and sells most of the pups on co-ownership can easily have 50 pups 4 months old. We don't want them to neuter them until they are 12-18 months old. Even on top of the dog population limits, David, is the portion of the bill that makes people who give advice to people guilty. And that, combined with SB250 who states is there are two dog citations, you can never have an intact dog.... I can only shake my head in dismay.
