Subject: [CalFedDogClubs] SB 250....MOVES TO THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR SB 250 passed the Appropriations Committee and will go to a full vote on the assembly floor.

This is without a doubt the most destructive law ever for dog owners. Any dog at a show without a license on his collar, or off leash is in violation.

The fact that obedience doesn't allow tags in the ring, the fact that show dogs don't wear tags in the ring, means NOTHING. You only get one chance. Once you've been cited, your dog is spayed or neutered and SO ARE ANY OTHER DOGS YOU OWN. You think they won't come after you at a show? Just check around and see what they're already doing.

The Burbank shows are September 26 and 27. SB 250 could be on the books by then. Maybe it's not likely, but what if? What if AC decides to make an example of us at that show? You could lose your entire breeding stock. If not Burbank, how about Riverside, San Gabriel, any show, anywhere in California?  Every time you enter, you'll be putting your dogs at risk, all of them.

And if you're one of those who flies under the radar and doesn't license - and you get caught - you won't need to commit a leash violation or anything else. You'll be cited, dogs sterilized and you won't be allowed to own an intact dog ever again.

If you don't show but you compete in obedience or agility,20chances are you already spay/neuter your dogs and think none of this applies to you.. Dogs get old, they retire, time for a new puppy. Where will you get that puppy?  From a breeder? Yeah, right.

We have eleven days to make the biggest stink Sacramento has ever seen.

Remind them that this bill will cost the state a fortune. Call, write, fax, email. Then do it again. Tell everyone you know to do the same. Every Democrat in the Assembly needs to hear from you.
