In New York, under the Agriculture & Markets Law, a puppy must be at least eight weeks old before it can leave its mom and be sold. This period is crucial for socialization and foundational learning from the mother.

Differentiating between a backyard breeder and a reputable breeder can be tricky. Reputable breeders prioritize the welfare of their dogs, breed for health and temperament, and are knowledgeable about their breed. They may register with kennel clubs like the AKC and are transparent about their breeding practices. Meanwhile, backyard breeders may breed dogs without considering these factors, often motivated primarily by profit.

Finding a good breeder in your area involves research and vigilance. Look for breeders who prioritize health and temperament over physical appearance, provide certificates for health screening, and willingly answer any questions you may have. Reputable breeders also typically want to meet prospective owners to ensure their puppies are going to suitable homes.

In New York, dog breeder regulations under the Agriculture & Market Laws ensure the welfare of dogs and cats. This includes regulations on minimum care standards, pet dealer licensing, and a "lemon law" protecting pet buyers. Any breeder selling more than 25 dogs per year to the public is considered a pet dealer and requires a license. Additionally, breeders are required to adhere to federal regulations under the Animal Welfare Act, administered by the USDA.
