I sincerely hope the ANKC is aware of this bill and others like it.

I'm sure ANKC is aware . . . they have an active program of watching dog-related legislation.

Btw this is a proposed law in Oregon . . . the US is complicated as every state sets its own rules.

Yep, I know they are all different. Probably wont get through, dog people in US are generally very switched on, and the AKC seems to be on the job. Good to know what is happening though.
