While I agree completely with what you're saying, I do think that 5 years is an awful long time, because then after five years when people start breeding again, all of the female dogs will be 5 years older. It's healthy to start them off at a younger age. I think they should just make backyard breeding illegal, and most of our problems would end. Researchers have found out that 65% of the dog population comes from backyard breeders.
