Only persons who sell more than 25 dogs per year would be regulated. In addition, breeders who sell dogs and cats from fewer than 7 litters a year bred or raised on their own premises, or fewer than 25 dogs and cats per year bred or raised on their own premises, which ever is greater, would be exempt. Big ----ing deal! I breed three litters a year, and have MORE than 25 puppies as a rule from these breedings. This is not "exempting" hobby and show breeders. This is the worst kind of totalitarian control.
