The only problem with the questionaires is honesty. Back in the days (many, many moons ago) when I helped with the Red Book, I remember typing up a stud dog's page where the owner stated all the problems her dog did not produce while I personally knew of a litter that had most of them. I quit reading the comments after that.

And not just with 5 questions! Granted, not all people will answer honestly, but I think most would and it helps to know these things, especially when choosing a stud dog for a particular bitch/bloodline. I is always best if we can make as informed a decision as possible when breeding two dogs together!

And I will repeat this egregious statement: "If a litter is born without this permit, animal control would take the puppies or kittens along with the mother.' Groups oppose pet ordinance requiring sterilization at 3 months http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/nov/12/groups-oppose-pet-ordinance-requiring-sterilizatio/<http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/nov/12/groups-oppose-pet-ordinance-requiring-sterilizatio/> Clark County animal control proponents want a law requiring pet owners to spay or neuter their cats and dogs and fines for those who fail to do so. Following on the heels of a law to sterilize feral cats, the County Commission soon will be asked to pass a law that would prohibit residents of unincorporated Clark County from owning a dog or cat that hasn't been sterilized unless the owner has a pet fancier permit or has a medical exemption from a veterinarian. If a litter is born without this permit, animal control would take the puppies or kittens along with the mother. The ordinance also would require spaying or neutering as young as 3 months old. The Silver State Kennel Club, a member of the American Kennel Club, is circulating a petition to stop the proposal because the animals could be at risk for a variety of health problems when sterilized that young. ************** Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
