(AP) Elk River, Minn. Sherburne County has adopted stricter kennel regulations, including a cap on the number of animals allowed.

The new ordinance requires anyone with four or more dogs older than six months to get a license and submit to annual inspections.

It allows no more than 40 dogs older than six months, including no more than 10 females that aren't spayed.

The new rule requires kennels to be on a minimum of two-and-a-half acres, half the space as previously required.

Large dog-breeding operations have sparked criticism in the past. In January, the Morrison County Board drew much attention when approving a permit for a proposed 600-dog kennel near Little Falls, Minn.
