Michigan dog breeders, kennels form advocacy group



LANSING - Lt. Gov. John Cherry joined dog owners, breeders and kennel  
officials today to announce the creation of a statewide advocacy group  
to promote "pet friendly" public policy in Michigan.

Officials representing the new coalition, Protect MI Dogs, said they  
will advocate for animal welfare; responsible dog ownership, breeding  
and training practices; and sound science and choice in veterinary  
medicine.

Cherry, who has bred and raised Springer Spaniels, was at the Capitol  
to help announce the formation of the new group.

Officials said the American Kennel Club licensed and sanctioned nearly  
550 events in Michigan in 2009. More than 82,000 dogs participated,  
65,000 of them from Michigan.

Mark Jaeger, president of Protect MI Dogs, said the group will make  
sure "policymakers realize that responsible ownership and pet friendly  
policies can help boost our economy."
