handle is hein.sag/sagoh0170 and id is 1 raw text is: January 24, 2024 The Honorable Matthew J. Muzic Holmes County Prosecuting Attorney 164 East Jackson Street 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.
