One of my soldiers let a neighbor babysit his dog, and ended up with a lot of husky puppies. Apparently he's not allowed to have puppies on post, it seems like he hasn't done much with trying to solve the problem, so I am about to make him develop a plan of action pretty soon on how he's planning to get rid of these puppies.
They are pure-bred huskies, so he doesn't want to give them away for free if he can. I don't know anything about post regulations for dogs/pets, buying/selling, etc, and that's why I'm here. I've also considered possibly taking one and giving him due compensation for the puppy as well.
I'm having trouble finding the rules and regulations for this sort of thing, and I will admit I know nothing about it, and that's why I'm here. So forgive me for not knowing what might seem like common sense to some of you all.

AR 600-20 para 4-14c states "Prohibited relationships include the following:
(1) Ongoing business relationships between officers and enlisted personnel, or NCOs and junior enlisted Soldiers. This prohibition does not apply to landlord/tenant relationships or to one-time transactions such as the sale of an automobile or house, but does apply to borrowing or lending money, commercial solicitation, and any other type of ongoing financial or business relationship."
Can't speak to post regulations, and there are a lot of other considerations to keep in mind here, but seems as though a one time purchase/sale would technically be within regs.

I agree, the one time purchase of a pet should be fine. My personal experience was not with an animal though.
I bought a notebook computer from a lieutenant in the scout platoon and later sold the same computer to my company XO (also a lieutenant) and as I was a PFC at the time, I am sure that I would not have been allowed to do those transactions if they were not within regulation.

2LT (Join to see) As to buying from your soldiers: I'd go with the venerable Dick Winters on this one... "Never put yourself in a position to take from these men."
As to selling puppies in general: I think adoption with donations towards the birthing costs is much more palatable.
As to Huskies anywhere but Alaska or Montana: it seems pretty cruel. An animal that can safely sleep outside in the arctic shouldn't really be South of Canada.

Have the soldier talk to the housing office for the specific on post pet policy and go from there. Incidental pet pregnancies are usually allowed as long as the pups are taken care of the proper way and re-homed in a timely manner
