Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion

Mr. Paul Savage:

The dog breeding establishments are required by law to have their own logs. That is part of their licensing. I do not think all of the dogs that are produced by registered breeding establishments are sold on our site. Some are sold privately, and others are sold internationally. They have to keep logs and records. Registered sellers of pets are also required to keep a record.
