Senate Bill 876 amends the Dog or Cat Breeders Act, Occupations Code, to reduce from 11 to 5 the minimum number of adult intact female dogs or cats that a person engaged in the business of breeding those animals for sale or for exchange in return for consideration must possess to be considered a breeder under the act and to remove the condition that such a person sell or exchange, or offer to sell or exchange, at least 20 animals in a calendar year to be considered a breeder. The bill also removes the specification that the uses for which a dog may be bred that exempt a person from the act are for a personal use.
