And I have already heard as soon as the rules go in place, they are looking at 3 intact bitches......which we knew would happen. The first ground rules will only be the stomping ground for the bigger punch to come. Don't think you are immune if you don't live in this state. Molly In a message dated 3/1/2012 1:35:00 P.M.

The two breeders on the advisory committee don't have any input because they are required to be licensed breeders and they can't be licensed breeders until 9/1 when the bill goes into effect. We are screwed big time because there is no specific exemption for conformation dogs. If you think this bill doesn't apply to you because you don't have 11 intact bitches think again. The bill can always be amended with a lower limit. We still have a chance when the bill goes before the commission for public comment.
