WAKE UP! Only 157 people have looked at this since posted. It's for REAL! See copy from an Agility forum:
It's time to WAKE UP Dog Fancy!!!!!!!!
The USDA wants to walk into your front door every time you have a litter of puppies.
Get on the phone AND email and tell your reps NO WAY!!!!!!
The Feds want MONEY and why not make more people have to register as COMMERCIAL dealers???
If you have more than FOUR females, REGARDLESS of how you breed and sell, you will be made a commercial breeder SUBJECT TO ALL THEIR INSPECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sending this not only to the legislative group but to the regular groups as well because this is SO IMPORTANT!!!
So get off your duffs and stop waiting for others to fight the dog legislation battles for you.
Seriously- the other livestock and domestic animal groups are united and make dog people look like wimps.
We are. And it's too bad.
I sent a message of concern via link given and this is the response:
For specific questions on this proposed rule, please contact Dr. Gerald Rushin,
Veterinary Medical Officer, Animal Care, APHIS, directly at 301-851-3740.
We should all call Dr. Rushin and voice our concerns.
