Our state just got a puppy mill law!!! If you have 35 or more dogs you have to register them with the state and the state will have requirements, etc... for the animals' health!!!
While my bro only has the 2 adult border collies (the male is very much like the one in Star's video clip!), I live in fear he will keep one of the babies and get another male, or just get another female to breed Jake with. He is good about keeping the bloodlines unmixed, but has NO idea how often to let a female breed. I refuse to have anything to do with the pups because I just HATE that he is doing this. And the line about how "unfair" it would be to Jake to have him fixed, and it would "devastate him" and 'ruin him' is just horse doo doo.
Anyway, I am thrilled to have at least this law to start to protect animals here. I figured a few of you would be happy to hear that some progress is being made.
