FEBRUARY 2017 a TRIP to TRENTON I Am Largely Convinced That Purebred Dogs Breeders ESTABLISHEDGROWL 1958 FEBRUARY 2017 A TRIP TO TRENTON I am largely convinced that purebred dogs breeders. They were young, well-dressed and and all that we do with them – conformation they all wore the same large, round button shows, obedience, rally, etc. – are on the road to identifying themselves. And they looked smug, extinction. The Humane Society of the United very smug. My hackles started to rise. States, PETA and a multitude of splinter Animal By now Jeffrey Ball had found me and explained Rights groups are effectively convincing the what I could do immediately to help be a voice general public that purebred dogs and the people for ‘our side’. I went down to another floor where that own and love them are toxic. We have the committee hearing for S1640 (the tether bill) discussed this in many Ramapo meetings. It is was already in session. I went in and signed a not news to anyone. piece of paper that identified who I was, who I With this in my mind, I went to Trenton on represented (Ramapo KC) and where I lived.

There were 3 people already heard in committee (S63/A2338 & S1640) are sitting in on that session that were ready to unjust to owners/breeders and require significant testify.

I stepped off the elevator on the 4th floor of No such luck. Jeff and I were the only people the State House into a swarm of men and women representing the breeders and owners of purebred milling around the hallways, waiting to get into dogs.

They are clearly well funded and well prepared Janis Hayes to support their positions. And they are young. If we in the purebred dog world don’t take this more seriously, if we do not educate and recruit more young people 2018 to take up our cause, we will lose this battle. We are already in the Animal Rights Melissa Ayer Sue Leonard activists’ rearview mirrors. It is imperative that we become turbocharged, catch Gerrie Oliver up to them and surpass them. It will take all of us to do this. We need every person dedicated to purebred dogs. I encourage each of you in this club, whatever AKC Delegate state you live in, to get involved. Use your voices.

  • Calculations in Relation to Puppy Farms Bill Effects – Data Requested by the Vic Parliamentary Committee Into the “Puppy Farms” Bill
    Calculations in relation to Puppy Farms Bill Effects – data requested by the Vic Parliamentary Committee into the “Puppy Farms” Bill The Committee requested data in two areas: 1.The likely effects on supply in Vic of eliminating pet shops and commercial breeders as a significant source of puppy/dog supply, and 2. Data to support the assertion that shortage of dog supply in WA was driving up prices. SECTION 1 Overview: Section 1 (below) outlines a number of scenarios based on known facts in relation to likely effects on supply of pups/dogs in Vic, and the effects of licensing at backyard breeder level. Notably, because of the Code of Practice and high audit requirements required by the Code and the public, Pet Shops source from currently audited, licensed and registered breeders and are not thus considered here as a separate entity to those breeders. Results: The data clearly shows that: 1.There is already a significant shortfall of puppies/dogs in Victoria beyond that supply from commercial breeders, purebred breeders and adoptions. Part of this shortfall is from interstate transport of tiny pups/kittens, a situation that will be significantly exacerbated if the Bill proceeds. This will result in a worse average animal welfare status for puppies and kittens. 2. The sheer extent of current supply from unlicenced, unregulated, and potentially poor quality “backyard breeders” of substantially less than 10 breeding females has taken even these researchers by surprise. Not only does this render the proposed “10 breeding female” limit scientifically useless, but will require considerable additional Council resources just to manage the current situation, muchless any future scenario of the backyard breeder looking to make a quick buck as prices rise.

    PETITION FOR RULEMAKING RELATING TO RETAIL PUPPY SALES Executive Summary The enclosed Petition requests that the Commission commence a rulemaking proceeding to create a Trade Regulation Rule (TRR) pursuant to its broad authority under the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA), defining with specificity the acts or practices that are unfair or deceptive relating to the retail sale of puppies in the United States. These practices include, among other things, pet sellers: - Falsely representing that they only do business with “reputable breeders” and do not operate or source from “puppy mills;” - Deceptively advertising that they only source from “local” or “licensed” breeders; - Labeling the for profit consumer transaction as an “adoption” rather than a sale; - Offering deceptive, unlawful health guarantees; - Advertising a puppy for sale that does not exist; - Providing falsified veterinary records or offering misleading veterinary records; and - Selling sick puppies to consumers. The Petition also requests the regulation of the use of deceptive marketing language that has been shown to mislead consumers including, but not limited to: “purebred;” “registered;” “vet- checked;” “teacup;” and “hypoallergenic.” The Petition is organized into the following seven sections: - Section 1. Introduction – Provides and overview of the rulemaking request and an explanation of its objectives. - Section 2. Summary of Requested Action – Lists briefly the various deceptive or unfair acts and practices that are prevalent in the retail pet industry, which are explained in detail in Section 5. - Section 3. Jurisdiction – Identifies the FTC’s authority to promulgate the requested rule. - Section 4. Legal Background – Explains the legal theories on which the TRR is grounded. - Section 5.
