As a former breeder of show and competition dogs I would have welcomed a law such as this in order to assist in the solution to the pet overpopulation problem.

$330 a year in license fees for 11 dogs is hardly unreasonable. It's mere pocket change in comparison to the actual expenses of showing dogs. It's also tax deductable once they have a kennel license!

If the law is enforced properly, the money collected from these additional fees from all owners of intact dogs plus the reduction in the number of unwanted puppies will tremendously benefit the abused and abandoned pets.

This should be the pimary goal of everyone who loves dogs, including all show and performance breeders.
