The herding judge, on Sunday, at the GSDC of San Diego Herding Trial, and I got into a bit of a debate on the Riverside proposal. He is one of the people fighting FOR it!! He lives here, in Riverside County, and has Briards. I couldn't believe him. Me, in my usual tactful and diplomatic way, probably insulted him, as he got up and walked away when he realized that I didn't see it his way!! How MSN would stop dogs from running around loose just doesn't make any sense to me! My main point was that we have had leash laws in effect for at least the last 30-some years that I have lived here and I fail to see them enforced. He said that when they are enforced, people can't afford the $150 to get their dogs back, therefore, he thinks it is better to make them spay/neuter their dogs before they could get them back. DUH???? I give up; I have no patience for this. I don't know HOW you and Stormy and others do it!! I had NO idea that AKC judges would not only be supportive of these crazy laws, but actually be involved in creating them!! Oh, yeah, and he thinks that you GSD breeders inbreed too much.
