Anyone out there live in California, and love their dog?

It really doesn't matter if you live in California or not. California laws tend to spread eastward, it won't STAY there.

The showdog exemption is a joke. What if you don't show AKC? What if you have a rare breed that is not AKC recognized? What if you have a dog that cannot be shown due to an injury?

It does not make a bit of difference if your dog is 14 with a heart condition, your dog will need to be S/N. The animal rights groups and misguided do-gooders pushing this crap couldn't CARE LESS if your dog dies on the operating table. They just want to stop breeding, ALL breeding as a step towards ending all animal ownership

Make dog breeding next to impossible and then wonder why they have a problem with sick, smuggled Mexican puppies. Idiots.

Some cities have already passed that law and you can keep an unaltered show dog if you have proof of kennel club registration, show history, and you pay extra for a license to own them unaltered.

Plus whats the big deal? A responsible pet owner should get them fixed anyway.

EDIT:

sorry if that was a tad harsh.

I just came up with this

Pit bull breeds are like knives....if used for good....they will be good while if used for bad especially if greed gets in the way...it can be deadly

EDIT:

I think its terrible too. I feel all animals, if not being used for breeding use should be altered.

i agree with Baa Baa Blac.

I totally agree we should do something

no
