As I understand Mr. Santorum's position- he tried to buy a puppy from a reputible breeder- only they did not have puppies any at that moment- not to be delayed he went ot a back yard breeder or puppy mill and the puppy had not been socialized- Therefore he is trying to limit breeders- this is his second attempt- the first one had three or four litters per year being under the fed regulators- It is unfortunate that his impatience is leading to legislation directed at breeders- he should be made at himself-Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cynthia Gialluca" <CYNECAGSD@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <stormygsd@xxxxxxx>; <hsrsh@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "ShowGSD-l" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 10:52 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: PAWS > I decided to go to the US senate web site under thePAWS bill sponsor, a > senator Rick Santorum, to see if I could find the actual wording of this > bill.
