Einstein did outstanding last night in his first Confirmation Training for Show. All of the dogs, Maltese, Scotties, Yorkies were totally buff. Man, I'm glad I'm not competing against those Maltese, that's for sure. All Champs, most are on the circuit now. One took 2 awards in 2 days. Well on it's way to finishing. We were the only Bichons this time.

Please Help Defeat California Spay/Neuter Law AB 1634 -AB 1634 Passes Assembly-The Fight Continues

AB 1634 Passes Assembly — The Fight Continues
Assembly Bill 1634, the California bill that will require any dog or cat over the age of four months to be spayed or neutered unless the owner qualifies for and obtains an intact animal permit, has passed the California State Assembly on a vote of 41-38, the bare minimum needed for passage. The vote tally is listed below.
Please thank the legislators who voted to oppose AB 1634. We need to let them know how much their support means to us.
The American Kennel Club wishes to thank all the people who have worked so hard to defeat this legislation. The fact that the vote was so close and that final passage only occurred after 10 hours of lobbying demonstrates that we had a very large impact!!
AB 1634 will now proceed to the State Senate.
Concerned dog owners, breeders and fanciers are encouraged to contact their State Senator and ask him/her to oppose AB 1634. Remember, hard copy letters are better than emails and office visits are even better! To find out who represents you in the California State Senate click here.
As soon as the Senate Rules Committee assigns the bill to a policy committee, we will post that information to our Action Center. Due to the floor deadlines this week, it will likely be at least next week before that happens.
For more information, contact AKC's Canine Legislation Department at (919) 816-3720, or e-mail doglaw@akc.org.
Please see the AKC website here for action you can take NOW: http://www.akc.org/canine_legislation/CA_action_center.cfm

CoCo will have her OFA test in late September, well after the puppies have gone.
