Because of the number of Puppy Mills in the state of Pennsylvania, there has now been a law passed in 1997, called the Puppy Lemon Law (Dog Purchasers Protection Act), that provides guidelines for conducting business in the exchange of a puppy, for both the Breeder and the New Owner. This was done under the aspices of Consumer Protection. This information is located on the Pennsylvania Federation of Dog Clubs web site in its original form. However, due to dynamic state of the Internet, we have also provided you a copy of this information as saved under the Kushinda Web Site (to guarantee its existance in the future). So, if the orioginal links do not work, please access the COPIED information. With the exception of the formatting, none of the text has been changed in any manner. The Kushinda's Breeder/New Owner Contract and Health Guarantee also contains a complete copy of all of this information. Any transaction done in the state of Pennsylvania is goverened by Senate Bill 182. THE PUPPY LEMON LAW IS NOW THE LAW OF PENNSYLVANIA!!! The Governor signed the legislation June 25, 1997. Act 27 of 1997 took effect August 24, 1997.
