A new pet store opened in Ridgefield, CT this week - True Breeders, located on Rt 7 near the Branchville train station.

There are currently 5 puppies available for sale in the store. The information cards on display say the puppies are from 2 different breeders - one located in Bridgeport, CT and the other in Oklahoma.

• 12.3% of all USDA licensed dog dealers in the US are located in Oklahoma

• The number of licensed facilities in our state has increased by over 70% since 2000

• Of all states with a high volume of puppy producers, only Oklahoma and Arkansas have no state regulations (Oklahoma has roughly double the number of facilities as in Arkansas)

• USDA regulations mandate that a dog have its’ length plus six inches times, that same length, for cage space. They must have six inches of headroom. Food is only mandatory one time per day and water twice a day, no matter what the outdoor temperature is. (Source: http://www.okpuppymilltruth.org)
