In Holland there are still more rules.
At first you have to make at least a cours from about one year about healthyness, feeding, kynological terms, illnesses, exterior, genetica and some more things and then you have to do an exam.
After that you can asking for a kennelname and pay money to the Kennelclubassociation. 25 year ago I have payed Fl. 150, that is now about Euro 75,-- But I think it will be now about Euro 200, for registration
Then there will come somebody to look after where you will keep your dogs. When you have a male and a female, to look if you can seperate them when the female is in heat.
If you keep your dogs outside, if the kennel is big enough and not standing in the wind and is dry.
When you will have a litter, where you will rise the litter and were puppies will be born and if there is enough light and fresh air.
So if we speak about certain rules, we have and not only paying a lot of money, and having a bithto breed with or 2 litters. Maybe therefore the puppies have a higher price then in other countries.
