I agree; I think that there should be a license allowing you to breed, as well as a license that allows you to have unaltered pets (for breeding or show purposes). I think that, otherwise, any breeding should be illegal, and that there should be fines placed on anyone who disobeys that law. I also think there should be higher consequenses for puppy mills. I remember the mill that was here a while back --- about 50 dogs and tons of puppies, and the guy got charged a $600 fine, and was given back his main breeding stud, one mother dog, and all of her puppies, and then he moved to Ontario where he has undoubtedly started another breeding program. What a great penalty. There's also another puppy mill here that the Spca has known about for ten years -- Think they'll do anything about it? Nope. Of course this is the Kelowna Spca, and I am not fond of their beliefs or practices as it is.
