FWD: update on PA commercial breeders federal lawsuit
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/pets/

By:  Amy Worden, Philadelphia Inquirer

Four months after the passage of the new dog law, the state has agreed to 
suspend enforcement of a core provision of the law until a federal lawsuit is 
decided.

In an order filed Feb. 18 in U.S. District Court, the state will allow 
commercial breeders appealing their license revocations to continue to operate 
pending the outcome of the case. In exchange, the Professional Dog Breeders 
Advisory Council, which is suing the Department  of Agriculture on 
constitutional grounds, agreed not to seek an injunction to stop the 
enforcement of the entire law. 

Under the law, the department has the right to issue cease and desist orders 
restricting breeders from selling or buying more dogs while their revocation 
cases are on appeal. It has issued such orders on two occasions since Jan. 10 
when the law went into effect, officials said.
