The bill is going to go through, and it will be a sad day for us all. On the list of clubs opposing its passage were only three (THREE)) representing German Shepherds, one Schutzhund club, and Von Sontausen Working German Shepherd Dogs...big time kudos to these clubs: German Shepherd Dog Club of Los Angeles County, Inc. German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California Menlo Park Schutzhund Club San Maria/San Luis Bay German Shepherd Dog Club Von Sontausen Working German Shepherd Dogs Over 1000 individuals and several regional breed clubs (for other breeds) and quite a few National Parent Clubs (for other breeds) also registered in opposition to the bill.
