You only have to have a kennel's license if you are breeding the dogs. As long as you are keeping the dogs as just pets, you don't have to get a kennel's license. Somebody told me once it would be cheaper to have one but I don't think that that was true in reality. Our town does not have a limit as far as number of dogs go but if the neighbors complain about the noise, smell (gotta clean up after all those dogs) or you are not taking care of them, they can take them away. We are outside of the city limits though so I am not sure that would apply to us anyway and I know the county does not have a limit.
