COUNTY LOOKS TO LIMIT NUMBER OF DOGS ON BREEDERS' PROPERTIES

(Wayne County, IN)--In a recent six-year period, Wayne County was on the list of Humane Society’s “Horrible Hundred” list, which calls out dog breeders across the country for breeding violations and inhumane conditions, four times.  Thursday, dog breeders and boarders were addressed by the Wayne County Advisory Plan Commission.  A change was made to restrict the number of dogs that can be held on individual properties of breeders.  "If you're gonna have no more than 40 for boarding, then there should be no more than 40 for breeding," said one member of the Plan Commission during discussions Thursday.  The proposed change now goes to Wayne County Commissioners for final approval.
