Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 the lab rescuer, sounds pretty good. maybe a good retirement prospect if you're going to be tied to the property anyway? what a silly thing about not allowing you to volunteer without neutering your dog. talk about comparing apples to oranges about a problem. here most dogs are saved unless they are agressive but cats are another matter, there are just too many people here who don't spay and neuter their cats. the feral cat programs have been trying to fund feral colonies to leave the cats be. they are finally making some headway after regaining some funding. sorry for going on off topic, but i sure love the furries and purries. laurie > > The Lab forum I am involved with has breeders from California, Janet, and they were solidly against the law. Most responsible breeders, as I am sure you know, will not sell a puppy to anyone except another breeder with anything but a limited registration which does not allow that dogs offspring to be registered. That said, they felt that the law was going to put too many hardships and restrictions on legitimate breeders. I do not remember the details, but I think the breeders, in large part, derailed the process. > > My local humane society, where I would like to volunteer, told me that I am not eligible to be a volunteer because I have one dog that is not neutered. It is Robin who is jointly owned with his breeder. His sire is an American and Canadian champion and was the #2 chocolate Lab in the nation when he was being shown. Robin was the only male in the litter and Anne wanted to use him at some point. He has a deformed paw from an injury in the first few days of his life, so was not a show prospect. My dogs are safely confined, so indiscriminate breeding is hardly an issue, but the powers that be at the shelter do not see it my way. It is a wonderful organization, and has a super spay/neuter program (wish it had been in place when I was doing all that spaying in 2003) and spotless facilities, great programs. Sorry I could not be a part of it. We have no Lab rescue program in Mississippi, so that is I what I should be engaged in, I guess. > W > Re: ultimate exercise solution > > > > In a message dated 1/6/2008 3:14:09 A.M.
