Thanks  for reading the bill and writing a letter.  That's what all
concerned dog owners should do.

Regarding owning 1 intact female over 4 months and 50 pups OFFERED for
sale (not sold), please remember the details are in the regulations,
which may be changed.  So 60 people all co own one intact female and
each have a litter, all 6 are now under USDA regulations.  Can't
happen?  Maybe not, but regulations are easier to change than laws.
And in a couple of years, that number can be reduced to 20 pups
offered for sale, then it becomes a reality.

Actually, as you are aware, many states have much stricter regulation
even now.  PUPS has the number as 50 OFFERED for sale by any person
involved with a breeder who is producing 50 pups, and that includes
co-
owners.  Among you (generic you) and your co-owners, I would bet there
are 50 pups OFFERED for sale.


And several breeders who are producing good quality pups with kennel
help are doing a great job taking care of 50 or more pups OFFERED for
sale a year.  I know lots of people scoff at incremental, but this is
a true fact about any of these bills that are coming out now.  The
goal isn't better care, more government incursions into business, but
NO breeding, no animal use.  If that is extreme thinking, then perhaps
a re-read of the underlying philosophy of all Animal Rights groups is
in order.


The biggest problem with this bill is that, after 20 years of fighting
(since Doris Day vs Venneman), they are still trying to include you/us
breeders who sell retail.  The law now exempts us, this bill would
include us and it would get worse from that point forward.  When we
start having to keep our dogs under USDA housing rules, that means no
more pups born in the house, (unless we have those cement floors with
a drain :-).
