To Visitors of this site:

We hope this site will be of assistance to you in finding reputable breeders of more than 60 AKC-registered breeds. In this age of the puppy-mill industry, it is most important that potential dog owners be put in contact with ethical, non-commercial breeders, those who breed for love and not for profit. Breeders listed here can advise potential buyers on what to expect from the particular breed they are considering. Those who purchase a puppy will always have a ready source of information and guidance as their pet matures. Best of all, they will be assured of buying a healthy, well-socialized puppy that has been raised in a loving home.

It's Not Over Yet!!

June 20, 2008 ~ Update


California Assembly Bill AB 1634 has been completely gutted and amended with new language. The bill will be heard next Wednesday, June 25 at 9:30 a.m. in the Senate Local Government Committee.

PetPAC is pleased that we have finally defeated the version of AB 1634 which called for mandatory sterilization of all dogs and cats in California. Our lobbying and grassroots efforts resulted in a tremendous victory in stopping mandatory sterilization.

However, we remain opposed to the newly amended AB 1634 because we have a number of concerns with this legislation as currently drafted.

PetPAC agrees with the Cat Fanciers Association that the current amended language is unfair to cat breeders. In addition, there is no appeal process for either dog or cat owners if there is a conflict between the pet owner and animal control agency.

nder this legislation dogs or cats if found in violation can be spayed and neutered at any age regardless of the effect upon their health, without appeal and even if their veterinarian objects to the procedure.

We urge you to contact the Senators on the committee with the objections we've outlined above. Let them know you support PetPAC's position on this issue.

Please join us at the State Capitol in Sacramento for the hearing on Wednesday, June 25 at 9:30 a.m. and for our PetPAC Rally beginning at 12 noon.

Again, thank you for your efforts in helping us defeat the statewide mandatory sterilization bill, but we have more work ahead. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Bill Hemby
PetPAC Chairman, www.petpac.net
