A dog breeder’s naivete…and what you should know about HSUS
No hobby that I know of has been subject to the harassment that dog breeders have. I know of no other hobby where one must be looking over their shoulder at all times, worried that they might be violating a law simply because a dog’s nails might be longer than what subjective laws might consider long, or for having a piece of tartar on an old dog’s tooth. I never in the world would have thought that my dogs’ veterinary care might be subject to legislation. I didn’t anticipate having to dot my I’s and cross my t’s when it came to recording my dogs’ expenses. And never in the world did I ever believe that fingers would be pointed or that “breeder” would become a dirty word. Continue reading

Federal PUPS Act…now has 153 cosponsors…breeders beware.
“Ownership interest” is not defined. Co-ownerships could be included – EVEN if the bitch does not reside on your property. And what is “ownership interest”? Do you have a clause in your contract to receive a pick puppy from a breeding? That’s an ownership interest. Does your contract include a clause that says if the dog cannot be kept, it should be returned to the breeder? Ownership interest. Does your contract indicate that you have a say in the potential sire? Ownership interest. Continue reading

MA legislation would affect companion animal events
A Massachusetts legislative committee is scheduled to consider House Bill 1023 on July 19 – a bill that would significantly change the definition of kennel to encompass training facilities or any dog event with more than 12 dogs. All those meeting the new criteria would be required to comply with all state and local licensing and other regulations currently reserved just for large kennels.
This would mean that any daytime activity where more than twelve dogs are present (including dog shows, training facilities, companion events, etc.) would now be considered a kennel and required to comply with all state and local kennel licensing and regulations. Continue reading
Your Dog’s Best Friend May Be His Attorney
Animals are being seized in Texas on a regular basis by law
enforcement officers assisted by local humane societies that house the
animals. Many times offers to help from national purebred dog and cat
rescue groups are refused and the seizures turn into major fundraisers for
the humane societies. If Animal Control knocks on your door, know your
rights as animal owners. Do not let them in without a Search Warrant even
if you feel you’ve nothing to fear. Continue reading
