I can tell you what this GSDCA (RALEEF) person is doing. I have just finished compiling over SIX HUNDRED (and there's more) California clubs. There are more GSD clubs than almost any other breed clubs in California, by the way. Today, I am meeting with a couple of women and stuffing envelopes to ask these clubs to join the California Federation of Clubs (CFDC). There have already been over 150 emails sent out to those clubs with email addresses, with the application blanks. This Federation, along with The Animal Council, The Cat Fanciers of America, are keeping a very close eye on the state house right now, and will jump very quickly any moment now. HELP us, support us, join us. I have ready to go WHEN IT IS TIME, 4 PAGES of talking points that will be available to everybody to write, call, fax, email the committee members. That call to action will be soon, but writing an objection to a portion of the bill now, before it is revised, will get a response "OH, THAT? That isn't even in the bill anymore." But anybody that wants them now (The pages), can start composing their letters and getting ready to call the committee assemblymen. I joined CFDC and became a Board member because I realized that NO single club is big enough to fight this battle. Shouldn't have happened in L.A., and if it happens now, it will go to your state and then to your state. CFDC has been a name in the forefront of fighting for dogs since the early '90's and now is reorganizing with all the speed it can...CAREFULLY and correctly. The website is about to be activated, and the letters are going out. Laura, of the SaveourDogs.net site immediately saw that her breed and breeds such as hers, that fall under NO recognized registry are not exempt from AB1634. MY position is that the BILL is wrong and ANY FIXING of the bill is not to be accepted. It MUST be defeated. Right now, I hear rumblings of...well, 'designer dogs' if they belong to a registry will be exempted...well, as long as they can prove they are purebred someplace, they can be exempted. NO!!! Let us not fall into that trap. That's exactly how L.A. got what they got. The bully breeds, when faced with BSL, said, if you're going to Mandatory US, then do it to everybody. Guess what, folks???
