I have recently looked up and read a little on this PAWS Bill, i have wrote a letter to the Senate Committe, what do ya'll think?


Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry
Room SR-328A
Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC. 20510-6000


Hello, my name is......... I am a dedicated dog hunter of many breeds. I would just like to state my opinions as honestly as I can. I have raised dogs since the last 10 years. My father has raised dogs all of his life, and so on and so on. I mostly hunt raccoons with my hound dogs and sometimes squirrels. I know many people do not like the idea of hunting what so ever, but it is something where I can meet old friends and enjoy what I like to do. With out puppies there wouldn’t be any dogs. With out good breeding there wouldn’t be any good dogs. Maybe you get the picture. Dedicated breeders in the dog registries across the United States, strive to make that almost perfect litter to make an outstanding dog or dogs. A typical large dog can throw ten puppies with out any problem, if not more. If a breeder can only have at least twenty-five puppies a year, than most definitely will our great sports go down, but our breeds will begin to spoil down also. To back my statement there will be a smaller percentage of puppies that will make a dog. Meaning when I say ‘a dog’, I mean a dog that should stand up to the criteria of that dog’s breed and standards. I can see where you want to eliminate some of the strays, or mutts, but saying a person owns his own kennel he is not breeding mutts, or strays. He is breeding the likes of his dog’s breed to better the breed of which his dog is in. I definitely oppose the acting of inspections on my kennel or anyone else’s for that matter. In order for a kennel to run properly it should be ran by a proper breeder. Inspections of fellow breeders kennels for no reason will only upset the breeder and that is another case in which dog breeds will reduce. I can say that I agree with inspections of kennels or breeders that have had complaints brought against them, but it is against our civil liberties to have the government interfere with our personal dwellings, or pets. If this bill is passed it will greatly defect our larger breed of dogs. I think people who are in favor of this bill should look at this as the effects of the long run, not the short run. I would like to ask the Senate Committee and all others to look at this bill in a bigger picture, and see how it affects the dog’s owner, dog’s club, and dog’s registry, must less all of the requirements of that dog’s needs. It would truly hurt our breeding, and our economy. Our vets would not have as much business, our club’s wouldn’t have as many members, and our registries would not register as many dogs, showing a great decline in money spent to better the breed of a dog. I would like everyone to look more clearly in this PAWS bill, rather than just pass without looking through it, through and through.

Thank you,
Dedicated Breeder and Owner


I know it may seem it came from the woods but is all my own opinions and best I could do. If I need to change something let me know otherwise that is how I oppose this Bill.

Looks good all you can do is tell them your opinion on it. I am sure they will get the point. they are probably getting flooded with this stuff. Make sure you send it to your represenatives and the committee members of the senate agriculture committee. Hopefully it will be stopped there.

I voted against.People, although most of us will not be affected by this bill(at this time,Its easier to amend a bill once its passed)We have to look at the big picture. We cannot!! take any middle ground when dealing with the Antis.The antis have no desire to compromise at all.That is a fact!!!Go to any of their Web Sites and read it for your self. This bill is just a means for them to get a foot in the door.

i have read so much crap about this paws bill that my head has swam, my eyes crossed and finally i passed out. i keep reading that if i don't raise 7 litters a year or buy and sell 25 dogs a year it will not affect me. i say protect those that do raise 7 litters a year and buy and sell 25 dogs a year and someone like me who might raise a litter ever 4 years or buy or sell 2 or 3 hounds a year should never have to worry.

because more then anything in the world, I would love to see all these amish run puppy mills here in PA shut down! I wish with all my heart that the owners of said operations would suffer the most from this bill, but alas, I also know how they work & will figure a way around the law...again! I have thoughts both for & against this proposed laws, and since that wasn't an option, I didn't vote.

BUT I feel that we as houndsmen and dog hunters should look into the deal about the puppies mills and UKC and We as dog hunters and Other kennel clubs should look into the fact of the Puppies being raised and that is needed and to many being culled because they are not wanted or needed and I feel as a houndsmen myself that this is not needed. Stop breeding dogs just for puppies because we don't need alot on the ground I also feel that this cruel and uncalled for. Get rid of the dog dealers and puppy mills,.By letting these things happen we make ourselves as houndsmen and doghunters alike look bad to the public, JMO . we need to stop it ourselves and people in the senate wouldn't be sticking their nose where it don't belong. you can take this anyway you want, I firmly believe that to many people breed when they don't need to. these are our pets,companions and our friends and hunting partners and this is JMO. their not rabbits you sell for meat or cattle , their our pets.
