Dog owners of all breeds are being besieged with laws and restrictions that threaten their enjoyment and use of their dogs. Anti-canine legislation such as Breed specific legislation (BSL), mandatory spay and neuter, outrageous intact owner and breeder fees and pet limit laws are  sweeping the nation. It has been reported that in some areas animal control is going door to door to mandate compliance with these restrictions and are confiscating dogs. For years breed specific legislation was isolated and a ‘pit bull’ problem, now we have legislation that threatens to put an end to all dog ownership and  traditional use.The American Dog Breeders Association, with the support of its clubs, owners and breeders, have battled for years to protect our rights as dog owners. With the current situation, it is apparent to all that we need more troops! We need a louder voice!
