Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada Update for your information ~ JVD DPCC BSL Committee member, Nikki Henkels, has just advised Meadow Lake Council will be RESCINDING the proposed BSL which would have banned Dobermans (as well as Rotties and the bully breeds) in their community. This positive action is being taken as a result of the feedback Meadow Lake received on this issue. Every letter, email, fax and telephone call does make a difference!! I understand that Meadow Lake will now be considering a dog bylaw similar to the one in place in Calgary, Alberta, which puts the onus on the owners for the actions of their dogs, and also penalizes actions, not entire breeds. I will update DPCC Members on this bylaw again after the Council Meeting next week. Thank you to everyone who responded to this bylaw.
