We have gathered opinions from ALL but 1 of the directors and officers of the West Virginia Sporting Dog Assoc.( the group that recently held the AKC WV State Ch. Govenor's cup) and we unanimously OPPOSE the passing of the PAWS bill and will no longer be associated with Kennel clubs that support this legislation!

Mark,

Thanks for your note and interest in killing PAWS. This fight appears as if it might be a protracted one, with AKC bad mouthing some club officers that join the effort and me personally. Right now sportsmen and their allies are in a numbers war, trying to demonstrate AKC doesn't speak for any of us on PAWS. What I need from you and any/all UKC clubs is a simple message to legislators that you oppose PAWS. That's my criteria for adding folks to the list, after a few early misunderstandings. The easiest way to do that is you use the preaddressed email titled Please Vote No ... That email is addressed to the chiefs of staff of the PAWS sponsors. I'll get a blind copy and immediately post your club's name as opposed to PAWS.

If you want to see some longer AKC parent breed club letters and see diferent perspectives, check out the following URLs. You needn't go to this level of detail, as it's all been said before repeatedly, but they're worth looking over.

Please circulate this email to fellow hunting dog owners.

Bob I seen where Steve said some comments on you and basically called you a liar and said that no AKC breed club is opposed to PAWS I did my research and found most of the ones you had listed even give thier opposition letter on thier website. Keep up the good work.

We just received the UKC letter on paws. On those opposed to the Paws, we do not see the American Black & Tan Coonhound Assn. We received a letter in July from them wanting to change the name of the breed registery to be able to join the AKC. We will certainly quit the American Black & Tan Coounhound Assn.

Also, on those opposed to Paws we only saw the Bluetick Breeders of America. What about the other breeds?

We are just pleasure hunters, but we are furious about the AB&TA joining with AKC to favor this bill!

Randall that was a letter from a new association trying to form I do believe It was from the AKC Black and Tan Trail and Treeing Hound Association not from the UKC ABTCHA. This is a newly formed association to try to get UKC B&T's registered with AKC and yes they said trail and treeing hounds the AKC bench standers get to have the name coonhoundours get the step child treatment and get named something other than what they have always been known as. Well I say ours I am not registering with AKC so anyone that does gets this.

I just revised the format of the official, verified PAWS Opposition List to make clearer the AKC and UKC clubs shown on it. Please visit http://saova.org/1139opponents.html to help me proof read that list.
Thanks,
