This time it happened in Utah at a back-up show to the Utah Bulldog Club specialties—InterMountain Kennel Club, on Thursday, April 30, 2009. Bulldogs had the largest entry so it was fitting, all else being equal, that a Bulldog attain this high honor.

Hope we all enjoy a beautiful spring. Many thanks to Suzy Holleran, our Spring Puppy Match chair; judge Jessica Pangilinan and trainer Doris Boyd for the show ring training for our puppies! Our shows are only successful through all the efforts you have made to come and support the club and help our chairperson. Great job, Suzy!!! Now we focus ahead on our July Breeders Match. The Breeders Match was created to recognize club members who are trying to breed better dogs. Anyone can show their dog (pet owners) so long as they are bred or sired by a club member’s dog. The ribbons and prizes go to the breeder (the puppy and owners get the kudos!). We incorporate a wonderful "Play Day Picnic" with our Breeders Match. We again encourage all members to come and enjoy the day; the Breeders Match will again be held at the Pet Food Express offices. Of course, bring shade and water for your dogs. We are planning a BBQ lunch and you are encouraged to bring pot luck dishes to share. We will have fun games and prizes for the dogs! Come and have fun with your dog. Mark your calendars now, not to miss the day! — Pat Ropp MORE BULLDOG BEST-IN-SHOW MAYHEM Bulldog Club of Northern California, Inc.

Absent: Jane Pharr Board members in attendance: Loretta Mikesell Absent: Betty Hatton, Don Epperly, Tracy Epperly, Richard Seeno, Mary Aiken Old Business: Breeder Referral Lots of discussion on this topic. It was reported that not all breeders are responding very quickly to email inquiries, and that Breeder Referral should not just be about selling puppies, but an opportunity and responsibility to educate the public. One suggestion was that every breeder on the referral list give back “time” as in managing a table at a meet up, or show etc., with educational items. Another idea was having each person on the list create a "standard" inquiry response that they could send out for those times they have no puppies, or are rushed for time. One more idea was to form a committee to find/develop a bulldog puppy inquiry response packet that could be emailed/mailed out to interested people. No decisions were made. A motion was passed to: 1. Include the word “INFORMATION” to Breeder referral on the website 2. Increase the referral charge to $20/year 3. Re-sign the code of ethics yearly. Ways and Means We need a chairman for this committee. Kim Lucier kindly volunteered. Respectfully Submitted Pat Buchanan BRAGS Jennifer bragged on finishing Diesel, and congratulations to his breeder, Gloria. Shalisa bragged on finishing Rolex, making him her 10th Champion.

KENNEDY With the help of Bob and Lee Hughes of Kismet Kennels, and friends from the Inland Empire Bulldog Club, I purchased my first Bulldog in 1962. It was a white bitch that grew to be 40 pounds. We bred and showed for a few years, then took a respite to raise a family and build a business. In 1986 we joined the Pacific Coast Bulldog Club and started breeding and showing again. We have been lucky enough to become Hall of Fame breeders and along the way have made some great friends. I have been President of PCBC, a National Councilor for Division III, and I am President of The Bulldog Club of America Charitable Fund. Mark Kennedy of Ballydown Bulldogs has been involved in Bulldogs over 46 years. He started showing Bulldogs at age 9 with his mom and sister and competed in Juniors and Conformation. He has finished a total of 45 champions to date and has several group and specialty winners. Mark is a member of the Bulldog club of Pittsburgh, currently serving as secretary. He has been show chairman many times for his home club and is also active in the West PA Kennel Association. He has been a licensed judge since age 24 and has judged Bulldogs in Kansas City, Philadelphia, New England, Houston and Tampa. He is now approved to judge NOMINATIONS FOR PUPPY SWEEPSTAKES all Non-Sporting breeds, Jr. Showmanship, the Non-Sporting group, and PEGGY BRECKLEY Best In Show. I have been in bulldogs for 23 years.

The GR department is been introduced in the California Senate to require the spaying or neutering of all dogs and cats unless the owner has an staffed by five individuals based out of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Director of Government Relations Several of the provisions in Senate Bill 250 are unreasonable. March 2009 For example, Section 1 (g) requires anyone who sells an intact News from the State Capitols (Continued on page 11) The California Bulldogge—May 2009 Page 10 animal to post the animal’s license number. However, most jurisdictions do not require or provide for licensing an animal under the age of four months and most puppies and kittens are sold before they reach that age. Further, Section (c) (2) can force owners to sterilize their pets on the basis of two complaints "verified by the department" that a dog has run at large. It is unclear what that language actually compels a department to do to verify the complaint. Any threshold should be based solely on impoundments or issued citations. Section (c) (3) allows an intact dog license to be revoked for any violation of state or local laws relating to the care and control of animals. Section (i) (1) includes another laundry list of violations for which a dog must be sterilized. Under Section (j) it is unclear whether owners who have a current intact license would be forced to spay/neuter their pet after a single impoundment. With the confusion of overlapping jurisdictions and a high number of people being forced to move due to foreclosures, it is easy to see how an owner could overlook pet licensure. Instead of encouraging these people to come in to compliance, SB 250 penalizes them by requiring sterilization, even for a single offense. In addition, many jurisdictions within California already have extreme laws limiting the number of animals that residents may own, and as a result, some owners are unable to license all their animals for fear of being forced to choose between beloved pets or having to place their pets in shelters. Finally, the term "custodian" is used in the bill, but is not defined in the legislation or within the existing Food and Agriculture Code. This term is simply another word for "guardian." The American Kennel Club supports the use of the term "owner" rather than "guardian" when referring to the keeping of dogs. The AKC believes that the term guardian may in fact reduce the legal status and value of dogs as property and thereby restrict the rights of owners, veterinarians, and government agencies to protect and care for dogs. It may also subject them to frivolous and expensive litigation. The term guardian does nothing to promote more responsible treatment of dogs. We strongly support efforts to educate the public about responsible dog ownership to ensure that all dogs receive the care, love and attention they deserve. The American Kennel Club strongly supports and promotes responsible pet ownership. However, SB 250 unreasonably punishes owners who choose to maintain intact animals and does not address the fundamental reasons that animals are surrendered, or assist those pet owners who are losing their homes and jobs. This measure will only increase the burdens on animal control departments in California. What You Can Do: Please contact your State Senator and ask him or her to oppose SB 250. To find out who represents you in the State Senate, please go to http://www.legislature.ca.gov/port-zipsearch.html 2009 Legislative Success The AKC Government Relations Department is working hard Page 11 with local federations, dog clubs, and concerned owners to protect the rights of responsible dog owners. Despite the many challenges we have seen so far this year, there have been a number of victories for owners, breeders, and fanciers at the state and local level. 2008 Year in Review 2008 was a busy year for AKC's Government Relations Department. A combination of sound policy, motivated and welleducated constituents, and lots of long hours resulted in many successes. AKC Distributes New Bulletin to Congress AKC's Government Relations and Club Communications Departments recently teamed up to produce a new publication for federal lawmakers and their staffs. In Session – AKC's Congressional Newsletter features news and information from the world of dogs, including information on the AKC and our nearly 5,000 affiliated clubs. In addition to regular commentaries and analyses on current dog-related policy and legislative issues, the newsletter highlights AKC's public education programs, charitable donations, and other grass roots initiatives that benefit all dogs and their owners and communities.

Send a message that this bill not only punishes responsible pet owners but according to the California Department of Finance’s analysis of similar legislation, this bill will KILL MORE PETS. Be prepared for the opposition to play some tricks/political maneuvers to move this bill. Contact your senator and members of the Appropriations Committee to help defeat this bill!
