I had an interesting phone call yesterday .--from Fox News ,asking how I felt about the new law requiring all dog breeders having to register, After I spent 1/2 hr blowing my stack,and informing him a vast difference between "puppy millers" and serious performance and conformation breeders, I told him that I was 85,and had not bred anything for nine years,but gave him names and telephone numbers of five other people in my club who are active breeders and exhibitors to let them tell their opinion on this stupid law. I get calls about almost anything pertaining to dogs in the Mpls,St.. Paul area. I guess I'm the most "ancient" one, still living . I founded and started my own club,plus the Afghan and Doberman Specialty Clubs/ Also the Minnesota Purebred Dog Breeders association,and know most of the veterinarians. I usually try and help anyone that calls ,and If I can't help,I can refer.. Now I'll have to check on this new law. Wouldn't you think the states would have enough to worry about ,just to stay afloat,without making laws about dog breeders Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
