Bill Regulating Large Dog Breeders Aired in House Committee

Legislation that aims to crack down on puppy mills and regulate large dog breeders in the state is vetted in a House committee. The measure wasn’t voted on Wednesday.

Ann Griffin with the Michigan Humane Society says not having statewide regulations allows shady dog breeders to bounce from a county regulating dog breeders to one that doesn’t.

She says a woman, who was found to have hundreds of dogs living in poor conditions, in Kent County simply picked up her operation and moved it to Montcalm County.

The measure requires large dog breeders to register with the state.

It also sets standards for how breeders treat their dogs and the puppies they produce.
