2 dogs with 300sq m++

The postings on 2 dogs/per household with open area of 300sq m++ is getting so congested that I myself is finding it rather difficult to go through all the contributions and not getting myself involved in an entanglement.
There is one particular topic which I thought might worth a discussion, but before going into this topic, please be informed, especially for Ms.Rainbow, that I am very calm, impartial and impassive to City-Hall's ruling. Come what may, when I cross the bridge, I'll think about it.
The topic I wish to highlight is puppies sold as pets are to be desexed, so as to keep the population of strays at bay. It is easily said than done, for the following reasons:
(1) All breeders including myself selling pedigree puppies will try to impress upon the buyer that my puppies are from quality bloodline, unless I have one or two that has major faults or disqualification characteristics, such as a patch-puppy or a blue-eyed puppy or one that are with undefined spots. The differences between a pedigree puppy and a non-pedigree puppy in terms of monetary gain is RM1300+ and only RM500+ respectively.
(2) Puppies are normally booked/sold when they are 3-4weeks old and taken away by the new owners between 8-10 weeks old. At this age, only the very experienced breeder who has been constantly monitoring the litter will have some knowledge on each and individual puppy, only about 55-60% accurate.(Am I correct Leopui?)
(3) No buyer is willing to pay RM1300+ for a pedigree puppy and the breeder tells him that he is buying a pet quality puppy only and recommend the new owner to have it desexed. I for one will certainly question the breeder to verify this statement, and what as a reputable breeder could I offer a valid explanation?
(4) The breeder has no right to impose a clause or condition in the sales contract that the new owner is under obligation to desex the puppy. Assuming that the new owner agreed, who is paying for the surgery at RM350 to spay a bitch and RM230 to neuter a dog?
(5) So far we are talking about individual ethical breeders, breeding puppies for the show ring and for a specific purpose such as guard dog services. What about kennel establishments/puppy mills and pet shops? Do you honestly think that they will care and take into consideration the problems of strays, unwanted breeding? They are only interested in your money. Once you have parted with your money, they cann't remember who you were let alone offering you advise and solutions.
(6) Sad it may be, but these are the facts of life. I alone cannot change the attitude of the so called pet owners. If I have it my way, I would...............1.2.3.4.--------100. It will be harsher 100th or perhaps 1000th times than what city-hall is proposing.
Regards.
