Puppy Uniform Protection & Safety Act (PUPS) Intro

There have been varied attempts over the past 15-20 years to control in home breeding by hobbyists and domestic animal retailers. The documents on this page include a brief history of those attempts; the most recent proposed bill now referred to the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee; US Department of Agriculture documents; and related analyses from opposed groups and individuals. To fully understand how this affects GSDCA members and future breeding of German Shepherds, please read the documents carefully.
