    Update today, this passed out of committee, so the train wreck of a bill is continuing on to the Assembly floor, if is makes it out of there, then on to the Senate and then the Gov….

    For all California dog owners, support is needed, write you rep... fax... they say that is better then emails.....

    IF This bill is passed will destroy pure breed dogs as we know them today...

    And if it happens here, you can be sure it will happen across the country....

    This has been all over the news…. and there were a ton of people there yesterday when it made it out of committee, including AKC...
    and once this passed in CA... believe me, it will follow across the country...
    Note also, that they say there is an exempt clause for breeder/registered dogs, however if you read the bill in total, you will find that it expires in January of 2008....

    Dan: I would fax to every rep you can find... gggg....

    Also, if anyone can set up a face to face with their representative in addition to writing a letter that would be huge. If you go to the AKC website you can find information on talking points and finding your representative.

    @ashleyalanej Oh, that's awful. I took my pups to meet my vet a few weeks ago. She was telling me that she's seen a rise in Parvo this year as well. Scary stuff.

    This was part of the article in the Sac Bee quoting the author for this bill. HUH???? if his point was to stop over population of dogs, how can he say this? And he doesn't own dogs or cats… "In its current form, AB 1634 would leave it up to cities and counties to decide whether to issue permits allowing reproduction of mixed-breed dogs, often called mutts. During Wednesday's floor debate, however, Levine said he was willing to accept an amendment to permit the owner of a mixed-breed animal to have one litter per year" Here is the link to the entire article... http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/209429.html More quotes from a different article… again Huh???? and I love the part about "unspecified amount" to purchase a "breeding permit" which is in the first noted article "Levine promised to amend the bill in the state Senate to allow any dog or cat owner to buy a permit that would allow the animal to remain unfixed and have one litter a year. The permit would have to be renewed annually. Levine also said he would modify the bill's language to ensure that a pet owner cited for failure to have an animal spayed or neutered would not have to pay the $500 fine if he or she agreed to have the animal fixed." Also of note was that the vote was held up by aboutn 10 hours to convience two reps that AKC has now "agreed" with this law... which if you go to the AKC site is totally incorrect...

    Cambria is located on the coast of California. It is north of Los Angeles and South of San Jose. Cities along the coast seem to be much more dog friendly. It's beautiful along the coast. Santa Barbara, Monterey, Carmel and Cambria are very dog friendly places to visit and very beautiful.

    @Tayda_Lenny: Hello! there is a possibility that Tayda, Lenny and I will be moving Northern California in the next few months! I noticed there are a lot of Northern Californians on the forum and I'm wondering where the really dog friendly area are. I might be working in San Jose, and would prefer to live about 1/2 hour north - maybe in Freemont/Union City/Newark area. Is this area dog friendly? Are there fenced in Dog Parks around? Hello there! I live in Cupertino and work in San Jose. Here are two websites that will tell you what dog parks, trails and even hotels you can take your B to. http://www.bahiker.com/doghikes.html http://www.wagntrain.com/dog_parks.htm
