Besides being 47th in public school education, paying teachers poverty level salaries, NC also wants to regulate the number of dogs breeders have. Might sound ok at first: It is saying that you must be inspected, et al, if you have 10+ intact bitches. (Hunting and show dogs are exempt, FOR NOW.) Because I have 4, I could say, well, it doesn't concern me--but it does. If this bill passes, 10 could later be modified to 8, 6, 4, etc. The bill claims to be going after puppy mills, but I believe it eventually could go after everybody. No one is safe. Contact your legislators. And keep looking over your shoulders.
