It appears if you sell one sight-unseen then you are not in compliance. Also, define hobby breeders, it appears in the news release that they haven't defined hobby breeders.

Sellers either must allow buyers to see animals in person before they purchase them or obtain a license and be subject to inspections by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
The rules are targeted to dog breeders but could affect breeders of other animals too. The Agriculture Department estimates that up to 4,640 dog breeders could be affected by the rule, along with about 325 cat breeders and up to 75 rabbit breeders.
Celtic Glory,
In the case of the "hobby breeder" they are limited to four bitches to keep the exemption. So, if the hobby breeder has the maximum 4 bitches, bred at least 2x's each year, and each whelp produces an average of eight pups, that are sold for an average $1500 pet price, lets see that would be....
4 x 2 x 8 = 64 x $1500= $96,000 per year for the hobby breeder. They sure will be crying ... all the way to the bank! LOL

To say "allow" means to give access. It the access is declined by the buyer then it is on the buyer. Not too complicated.
