Holmes  County Prosecuting Attorney

Millersburg, Ohio 44654



SYLLABUS:                           2024-001


         1. Pursuant  to R.C. 955.50(A), a dog
            under the age of eight weeks old can-
            not be sold, offered for sale, or ex-
            posed for sale if the dog is to then be
            resold or placed in retail commerce.

         2. R.C. 955.50(A) does not apply to high
            volume  dog breeders as defined in
            R.C. Chapter 956 if the high volume
            dog breeder is selling dogs directly to
            consumers.

         3. Because R.C. 955.50(A) directly pro-
            hibits both the sale and certain activ-
            ities that occur prior to the sale of a
            dog, and because the statute does not
            mention payment, whether payment
            is made does not impact the applica-
            bility of this statute.
