Generally my home does not smell but from time to time we do get some dust bunnies, With diligence it is possible to have multiple dogs and not smell bad. Daily clean up is needed and with the dogs getting bathed monthly and brushed in between baths and KEPT DRY(very important) I am not ashamed to have strangers in my home. I am not sure why the way my home smells is a subject we're discussing though. We do not live like animal hoarders.

I do not support anti- breeder legislation, I simply stated a fact. I want to be able to breed as much or as little as I choose. I have 10 intact bitches so even though I only choose to have one litter a year I would still have to abide by this legistlation if I lived in MO.

Limits sound reasonable to people who don't breed animals. I completely disagree with limits for many reasons, not the least of which is that they can easily be adjusted and you can bet that will be a smaller number. I think we as animal breeders are in a fight to keep our breeds that we love preserved. However I also think we are in a fight as Americans to keep our country as we know it preserved!

That appears to be horrible abuse and over-crowding and should be addessed with the existing laws.

Taking care of animal waste is what a responsible animal owner of any type does, be it changing the bird cage, the cat litter or cleaing the dog yard, cleaing the horse stalls, dragging the pasture. It's a fact of life in animal care. I guess we won't be neighbors, but in this Great Country you are entitled to your pursuit of happiness and I to mine.

I have 10 intact female dogs at my house plus I co-own female dogs with other people. It would apply to me although I think "covered" is a little confusing. In horses that means that the mare is bred, in dogs I am guess the same. I usually have a litter a year and I keep the best one or two for show and place the rest in pet homes. It is very possible to have more than two dogs in a house and have it fit for humans, even my very picky mother-in-law will stay with us. I do spend a lot of time caring for my animals and I try to be considerate of my neighbors but we live out in the country and I am not in violation of any laws or regulations. I am tolerant of my neighbor's late night fireworks(legal), firearms practice(legal) and hunting(legal) though I find these things annoying. I believe that these rules and regulations do infringe on private property rights.
