My take on this is simple--Just as people conceive children without a marriage license, dogs are prone to "hop the fence" and well...you know...From the Wichita Eagle:
A new city ordinance requiring dog breeders to purchase a license has some of them snarling. The ordinance says people have to buy a $50 annual license to breed dogs, but it doesn't define what a breeder is. As a result, the ordinance applies to anyone whose dog has puppies in the city of Wichita.
Failure to get a breeder's license is punishable by a $100 fine.
"If you got a dog with a litter of puppies in Wichita, you've just broken the law," said Hank Price, a Wichita Kennel Club board member.

The ordinance was aimed at puppy mills and pit bulls, said Kay Johnson, director of the city's department of environmental services.
Well...then why wasn't the law written that way?
