While this law seems flaky, the fact is that conditions for puppies in many pet shops are far from ideal. They need constant care and attention when they’re that young and shop staff can’t always give it to them.
My parents bought their dachshunds from reputable breeders. The last one they had was the runt of the litter. I think my father felt sorry for the little guy and that was the reason he chose him.
As it turned out, it was a good choice. That runt quickly figured out that he would be loved and cared for by my parents. He grew into a lively adult dachshund who makes friends with everybody he meets and thoroughly enjoys playing fetch. Those were some of the reasons why a family adopted him after my father died.
Had he been in a pet shop as a puppy, he might never have been selected and may never have had a chance to grow up.

“California bans sales of non-rescue pets”
… from pet stores, you can still buy directly from breeders (which is the only right way of doing it anyway).
“…the fact is that conditions for puppies in many pet shops are far from ideal. ”
Agreed, although it is an understatement. The moment a pup comes from the pet store it is already damaged. It is not properly socialized, it is likely traumatized after days of strange loud idiots banging at the other side of the glass, you have no idea about hereditary condition likely included with the package, you know nothing abut its temperament or if it will be good fit to your home.
Only deal directly with breeders folks. Do not subsidize the rescue racket and do not finance the pet store industry. Deal with those who put their hart and soul into their product. That way you will pay much less in vet bills in the long run and there will be much less tears.

Exactly.
In addition, there’s the stress of having to adjust to a different environment, which could lead to the dogs becoming ill.

ah yes COLON, the smart one again I see. Breeders quite often dump defective animals into the public arena, so as to avoid “losses”. Having been raised on the farm and delt with animals much of my life, I can tell you are such an expert. Kinda like your qualifications of military aircraft acquisition.
ah no ENEMA, the dumb one again I see. Your life story notwithstanding, no reputable breeder ever “dumps” their “defective animals” to avoid “losses”. Breeding pure bread dogs is not a lucrative business it is an art and a craft not a source of sustainable income. If you confuse puppy mills with breeders that is your problem. I am sure you can talk to Kate about it.
All of the dachshunds that my parents had were purebreds.
I found the lineage of one of them as I was going through my father’s things a few months ago. Like you wrote, it’s more a specialized craft than a business. That’s one reason that most dog owners can’t afford purebreds, let alone have their pedigree certified.
From what I understand, dog breeding is a small community and everyone knows just about everyone else. No breeder wants or needs a tarnished reputation.

Agreed except for the cost part. The pup from the breeder will typically not cost you more than from a store or (god forbid) Internet ad. And the pup from the breeder will most likely be healthier in the long run and of better temperament. It is just that, as you said, reputable breeders are a somewhat closed circle. They are always careful not to give their pup to a potential owner who is looking for something cool, unique and original rather than for dog that would fit their needs and lifestyle (this is especially true for rearer gun dogs but other breeds as well). Also, typically one has to wait often for months and even for more than a year before pups are available. A good breeder typically has all the pups spoken for well before the litter arrives and would NEVER dump extra defective pups to a store to avoid losses as some idiots believe. Besides these days there is less interest in pure breeds anyway. A typical local dog show will have half the number of participants than a decade or two ago. People are used to instant gratification, have no appreciation for the craft, buy their hypoalergenic (not shedding hence no mess allergy excuse is bs 9 times out of 10) goldendoodles, labradoodles o their cocapoos on Internet and have no patience to stay in line to get their new family member. Breeders know it and breed less than they used to which again means than an outsider has to wait even longer than before to get into the club. It is still worth it though.
“”The provisional final result has Kurz as the clear winner, with his ÖVP gaining 31.4 percent of the vote.” Now that is good news. Maybe the tide is turning?
I might have been a bit vague in my earlier comment.
Most of the dachshunds that my parents got, except for the last one, had authenticated documents confirming their pedigrees. One reason purebreds tend to be more expensive is the certification which confirms their respective lineages. Getting those certificates, however, is optional.
Most of the dog owners I know don’t have purebreds, partly because mixed-breed animals are generally cheaper. There’s no need to verify their backgrounds and, so, there’s no cost associated with that.
