CROP/DOCK

Thank you everyone for all of your phone calls and emails over the last few days.
The important thing to remember is if a no crop/dock law is passed in any state the AKC will have to follow that states laws and any cropped/docked breed will no longer be able to compete in that state.
When California was trying to ban crop/dock in their state there were many lobbyists from many breed clubs that got together and put the figures together on how much income would be lost by the state if the ban was passed. This was one of the deciding factors for defeating the bill.
If you truly want to be sure these laws are never passed people need to get involved with the breed clubs working so diligently to preserve the right of owners to crop/dock. Meet your state lobbyists and volunteer your time.
