I'm a member of Mount Ogden Kennel Club, which holds our shows in Logan each year. A couple of our club officers live and work in that area, and I've called one to ask about this. They are aware and concerned, but have had little luck getting anyone to listen to them - apparently the Police Chief is especially stubborn about the dog legislation. I did send an email to the city officers and would like to suggest that anyone emailing try not to sound hostile or threatening, as that would only antagonize any who might be willing to listen to reason. Candy's email was a good one - hopefully there are some open minds on the city council! We don't have any KC members in that area, but apparently the kennel that has been hit the hardest is a GSD breeder who has import lines and competes in Schutzhund. I don't know her name - that was what I was told by the Malamute breeder that I spoke to tonight. In a message dated 12/26/2006 4:29:21 P.M.

Here is the link to the town of Smithfield, Utah. Please everyone, bombard them with letters. http://www.smithfieldcity.org/ I go to all breed shows every year in Logan. Yesterday as we were driving to Logan to meet our new Christmas granddaughter we had to pass through Smithfield. I told my husband that we were not allowed to stop or spend any money in that town. I will write my letter to them tomorrow and inform them of my feelings.
