I googled for something regarding this being "illegal" and found nothing. I don’t even think pet stores are required to give shots just that they have 10 day guarantees on their puppies, and that does not go for private sellers. Breeders (which I don’t think the OP is, and if he is he shouldn’t be because no offence but your puppies parents don’t look like high quality pits) are not required to give puppies any shots or worming nor are they required to give any guarantee on their puppies.

Though if you are only looking to spend 150 on a pup you shouldn’t expect much and obviously don’t know the cost of raising a litter of puppies to 8 weeks old. If the OP does plan on getting the puppies shots and worming them I can’t even imagine the money he is losing on this litter.

Sorry for thread jacking =) Just thought I'd give you a heads up to be careful...

 

Like I said in my other post and what it says in what you posted it says "dealer" I may be mistaken but I’m pretty sure these laws only apply to pet stores and people selling dogs with a business license

 

Im not a dealer and puppies dont get shots till there 6weeks old. And no this is not a "high quality" dog but pure none the less. Dont really care if you want one let me know once the rest get shots the price will be firm and these pups are weened. As we think someone stole the mother........so.......
