Despite letters of concern from AKC Government Relations, dog owners and
breeders, and a state-licensed veterinarian to the New Haven, CT Board of
Alders regarding proposed changes to their animal ordinance, the Board enacted
a re-drafted animal ordinance proposal last night. AKC GR has learned that the
proposal will now go to the city's Mayor for approval.
The proposed ordinance, in addition to addressing leash laws and dangerous
dogs, establishes breeder permits for those who pass inspection of their
breeding premises and have the suitability of the dogs to be bred evaluated by
the animal control officer. Holders of breeder permits are limited to two
litters per year and must acquire a litter permit for each. The ordinance
becomes effective immediately upon adoption and carries significant fines for
violations. AKC has serious concerns that the proposal would result in
additional fees for law-abiding responsible dog owners and breeders, while not
addressing animal control issues in the city.
Connecticut dog owners and breeders are encouraged to immediately contact the
New Haven Mayor and express your concerns with this proposal. Ask the Mayor to
send the proposal back to the Board for changes that would not impose onerous
requirements on responsible dog owners and breeders who are not in the business
of breeding and who are not responsible for animal control problems.
