    ab 1634 questions

    I'm not trying to stir the pot or jump in one that is already boiling! But I was looking for clarification on the most recent version of this bill---I think it is the one amended May 31?
     
    As it now stands, this bill would require breeders of  "designer dogs" to have a breeding license, right? because even if their dogs competed  in something they couldn't be part of a registry???
     
    And I think it reads that if your dog is titled it doesn't need to meet the "compete in the last 2 years" requirement---is that right? I thought the original bill read that dogs would need to have competed in the last 2 years and that included titled dogs. So in the old version a dog with a title who was unable to compete anymore would have to be altered, now he wouldn't be?
     
    How expensive is a breeding license? anyone know? (Yes, I am aware that the fees for intact permits will vary)

    Bobsk8, if those sites answer polarexpress's questions, how about quoting the site?

    That is my reading of the law, but I have yet to find any description (official or otherwise) of what it will take to get a breeding license.

    A titled purebred dog will not have to be altered.  A purebred dog under 3 who is in "the process" of being titled does not have to be altered.  A purebred dog 3 or over has to compete at least once every two years -or- jump (not literally) thru whatever hoops the powers that be require. 
     
    ***Edited to change "over 3" to "3 or over"***

    The list of "approved" registries and associations have (to my knowledge) yet to be defined.  Worse, I can't find where the law defines who or what body will create that list.  The law they are trying to pass is far from finished and I fear that a lot of arbitrary, hard-to-challenge decisions will be made by people whose knowledge is as limited as that of those who wrote the original versions of AB1634.

    (2) The owner's cat or dog is a valid breed that is recognized by an approved registry or association, and complies with at least one of the following:

    [blockquote]
    (A)  His or her cat or dog is used to show or compete and has competed in at least one legitimate show or sporting competition hosted by, or under the approval of, a recognized registry or association within the last two years, or by whatever proof is requested by the local jurisdiction or its authorized local animal control agency that the cat or dog is being trained to show or compete and is too young to have yet competed.
