There have been pushes in this direction for some time… this is the most
extreme. Remember, the Mandatory s/n that went from one town to hundreds of
towns. And pet store bans selling dogs from one town (that didn’t have one) to
states! Then look at tethering… and outside dogs.. (temperature). When we/I
say that we need to fight this at the very lowest level, we have seen what
happens.
It’s not just dogs… this is happening at every level for all animals.
Maybe a massive write-in campaign to the mayor? I know that I will be writing
him… as a person that knows where a few gorgeous dogs are being bred in CT!!!

This is terrible. Animal control officers decide? My gosh, how frightening!
This means if they didn’t like the dogs’ angulation ( for example), they
could deny permits.

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.
