This is from the Oklahoma State website. Although it says it is Oklahoma State Board of Commercial Pet Breeders, please note which breeders are called commercial pet breeders according to their official definition. The warning is that each time a law like this is passed, the number of dogs are reduced. Since this is a regulatory body, it doesn't take another law to reduce the number. My personal opinion is that we are all in this together and it's time to drop the "Commercial Breeders are bad" talk... According to ARs, ALL breeders are bad, and as you can see by the definition below... it doesn't take much any more to be named a Commercial breeder. There will be an open comment period. Please learn more for your sake and for the dogs' sake http://www.ok.gov/petbreeders/Rules/index.html (f) “Commercial pet breeder” shall mean any person that possesses or has possessed at any time in the last twelve months eleven or more adult intact female animals for use in breeding or dealing in animals for direct or indirect sale or for exchange in return for consideration.============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
