This is exactly what a lot of towns and Organizations need to be made aware of!! Even the photographers that do the Eukanuba shows for Animal Planet... there are just so many ways our shows and Breeds and Breeders would affect society if all these bans and bills go through.......we pack a lot of punch and we just need to make it known. We need to make that same information known to our Vets, Pet stores, Vet Catalogs, Dog food companies, Police Depts., even Vet Colleges, etc........ ..they ALL listen when it comes to money. Follow the money trail...............<G> GREAT JOB Ladies, and Paul!!!!!!!
