Subject: THE JUNK YARD DOG SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is a JUNK YARD DOG SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!????
Okay, I have your attention. Most everyone loves a yard sale, right?
Let's
have a HUGE one .... one that stretches across the United States!! We
can
raise a ton of money for Last Hope and, at the same time, garner a huge
amount of
publicity that will help show those who ignorantly support the AR
fanatics
that we DO care about the dogs!!
Here's the plan: I need at least one volunteer from each state to hold
a yard
sale to benefit Last Hope. If I can get a good number of volunteers by
May
1st, the group can decide upon a mutually agreeable single date in July
or
August to hold their yard sales. That gives plenty of time to collect
"stuff"
from friends, neighbors, etc. and publicize their sale (Craig's List,
weekly
shoppers, etc - all freebies). Perhaps the Review would even put in a
blurb about
it. Local radio and television stations can be notified to do remotes.
This
could be a huge success and everything is tax-deductible.
Please volunteer to hold a sale - it costs nothing but your time and
think of
all
the German Shepherds who might be saved as a result of your
efforts. We
have to face the fact that if we don't help our own, no one else will.
Email me privately if you are willing to hold a sale. I will keep a
list of
all names and contact all volunteers on May 1st to choose a date.
In some areas, I have no pride - I'm begging you all to do this for the
dogs.

Dear Members,
We ha
ve come to a critical time in the research of GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG
Degenerative Myelopathy.
Can you please crosspost this to everyone you know and PLEASE SIGN OUR
PETITION
TO SAVE CRITICAL GSD DEGENERATIVE MYELOPATHY RESEARCH!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/SupportCriticalGSDMResearch
The University of Florida is no longer processing Degenerative
Myelopathy (DM)
Flash Tests as of today, March 15, 2009, for Degenerative Myelopathy!
Dr Clemmons' lab is being shut down as soon as he finishes the current
research for the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. The University of
Florida
feels there is more money to be made in other areas. Please sign our
petition to
keep the DM Flash Test operational, as it is desperately needed for DM
research
to move forward. The knowledge gained from the DM Flash test is
irreplaceable!
While there is another DNA Test, the SOD1 that has been developed by Dr
Joan
Coates for DM, that test was created through research on Boxers and
Corgis!
Corgi/Boxer DM is NOT the same disease as German Shepherd Dog DM! Only
4 German
Shepherds spines were used in their research, to the hundred plus
Corgi/Boxers!!
Early test data on the German Shepherd Dog indicates that not all German
Shepherd Dogs with Degenerative Myelopathy even possess the mutated
SOD1 gene
for which the other test is screening!
Thank you- we are depending upon your help and cooperation!

Subject: OT an old hunting dog pic?
I have a very old picture of what looks to be 3 Springer Spaniels or
some kind of bird dog. It is in a very old plain black frame. On the
=0
Aback of matting it says "A Good Stand" Published by M. T. Sheahan,
Boston Mass. I have googled and googled Sheahan and came up with a lot
of stuff, mostly postcards and stamps from around 1907-1911 era, no
actual pictures. The dog on the left is solid black (standing) the dog
in the middle is mostly white with some black around the ears
(standing) & the dog towards the front Is the white with black large
markings & a small amount of freckling (laying down). I Know that if
it was an old Shepherd pic the GSDCA would appreciate having it and
just wondering if anyone out there has seen such a pic or know where I
can find out about it?

Texas Mandatory Spay/Ne
Print This Article
[Monday, March 16, 2009]
Two mandatory spay/neuter bills have been filed in the Texas
Legislature..
House Bill 4277, sponsored by Representative Jose
Menendez of San Antonio, and Senate Bill 1845, sponsored by Senator
Leticia Van de Putte also of San Antonio, will require that all dogs
over six months of age be sterilized. The American Kennel Club (AKC)
and its Texas federation of owners, the Responsible Pet Owners Alliance
(RPOA), believe that any attempt at restricting the rights and
liberties of responsible breeders–especially via mandatory spay/neuter
laws–must be defeated. If adopted, these bills will have a profound
negative impact not only on responsible dog breeders in Texas, but also
on all current and prospective dog owners. Therefore, it is vital that
all responsible dog breeders and all concerned dog owners in Texas, as
well as anyone worried about such radical policy, contact their elected
state legislatives as well as the bills’ sponsors and respectfully let
them know that these draconi
an measures are unreasonable, unenforceable, and unacceptable.
The American Kennel Club opposes the concepts of breeding permits,
breeding bans, or the mandatory spay/neuter of purebred dogs. Instead,
AKC supports reasonable and enforceable laws that protect the welfare
and health of purebred dogs and do not restrict the rights of breeders
and owners who take their responsibilities seriously. Additionally, we
strongly support and actively promote a wide range of programs to
educate the public about responsible breeding practice
s and the
responsibilities of dog ownership.
As currently written, HB 4277 and SB 1845 would:
* Require every person who owns a dog or cat at least six months of
age to have the animal spayed or neutered.
* Provide few exceptions, including one for owners of a dog or cat
who purchase an intact animal permit at a cost of $300 per intact
animal.
* Make each violation of this law a class C misdemeanor, liable for
fines up to $500 per violation.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
All concerned responsible dog breeders and owners in Texas, as well as
all other concerned Texas residents, are strongly encouraged to write
their elected state legislators as well as the bills’ sponsors. Let
them know that mandatory spay/neuter bills are radical and unacceptable
and will have a profound negative impact upon the state of Texas.

Arkansas Seeks to Require Annual Licenses of Up to $1000 for Dog Owners
and Handlers
Print This Article
[Monday, March 16, 2009]
A bill has been introduced in the Arkansas Senate that requires owners
of 12 or more dogs of any age to purchase an annual license for the
right to maintain ownership of the dogs, regardless of whether the
animals are on your property.
"Owner" is defined as someone who meets any of the following criteria:
* Has a right of property in a dog or cat
* Keeps or harbors a dog or cat
* Acts as a custodian of a dog or cat
Senate Bill 864 would require any owner of 12 to 24 dogs and/or cats to
obtain a $250 annual license. If you own over 24 dogs and/or cats, then
you must pay $1000 each year. This would place severe financial
hardships on responsible dog owners without addressing the real problem
of irresponsible dog ownership.
The following are exempted from the license requirements:
* A veterinarian or veterinary facility that provides services
under the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Practice Act
* A boarding, kennel, or grooming facility that acts as a temporary
custodian in exchange for compensation
* An agency of the federal, state,20county, municipal or other
governmental or political subdivision acting under official duties
* Any entity owned or managed by a state or local government agency
that is responsible for animal control
* Research facilities
In addition, the bill allows for a warrantless inspection by an animal
control officer or other public health or safety official upon any
complaint "or upon his or her own motion". This may include an
inspection of the animals as well as the facility.
AKC is opposed to egregious requirements that punish responsible dog
owners while doing nothing to address the issue of irresponsible dog
ownership. Instead, we support reasonable and enforceable laws that
protect the welfare and health of purebred dogs and do not restrict the
rights of breeders and owners who take their responsibilities seriously.
