"Not too bad" in the hands of some with the hidden meaning in the wording can become complete disregard for an animal owner over time......let alone a Breeder or the animals. As Peggy and Stormy warn us.....be aware, be vigilant and be suspicious ........<G> SELDOM do they really have the pet owner or breeder best interest at heart.

If you think any animal bill is good, read it carefully...concentrating, not while you watch TV or eat lunch...and make sure there's no hidden agenda there... because I'm telling you, more than 3/4s of the bills proposed will not do the good they propose, but they will certainly accomplish just what you (and we all) don't want. Do I sound paranoid? Good. Regarding dog laws, we should ALL be paranoid!
