Dog breeder restrictions coming up in Missouri?

Missouri is the latest state to seek restrictions on dog breeders.

Read this story from USA Today.

Under the proposed dog-breeding measure, people could only have 50 breeding dogs and would be required to feed animals daily, provide annual veterinary care and not breed animals more than twice every 18 months. Breeders also would have to follow rules for the dogs' living space and house animals indoors with unfettered access to an outdoor exercise yard.

Supporters say they have collected an estimated 190,000 signatures on petitions. A decision as to whether there are enough to put the measure on the ballot will be made by Aug 3.
