That's awesome
You mean that you can't own two dogs of different genders if they are both capable of breeding? >

Sorry I didn't clarify. Dogs should be able to have litters of puppies and allowed for them to be given away, but it should be regulated with a license to practice when considered as a business. >

What makes it a business? >

Whatever you have to tell the IRS. >

Many people run a "business" and never claim anything to the IRS. And those that do probably have a license to operate as a breeder by their own municipality >

Whether people do it or not, its illegal. >

But that's the issue. If they sold one puppy, that would be a business, right? So if anyone has a puppies, you are fine with them giving them away, just not exchanging money for them? >

There is a difference between breeding golden retrievers that sell for thousands a pop, and providing a homing fee to someone trying to buy an animal. If the small-time breeder isn't doing enough to alert the IRS; then they probably just aren't a big enough fish to fry. >

In the US, 25 states already regulate breeding and require a license... with more added every year. 
So, your view is sort of what's happening.
