		<title>DANGER &#8211; HSUS forms Breeders Resource and Advisory Council</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is imperative that HSUS not be considered by the public as experts on the intricacies of raising the purebred dog.  I (we) respectfully request that AKC take immediate action to counteract this new threat to the art, science, and constitutional right to breed dogs."]]></description>

		<title>AKC&#8217;s formal opposition to the Federal PUPS act</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Defines “high volume retail breeder” as someone with “an ownership interest in or custody of one 
or more breeding female dogs”. This definition is overly broad and does not take into account coand joint ownerships common among dog owners, dog show participants, hunting club members, 
sporting dog trainers and other hobbyists. This would hurt many small hobby breeders who keep 
or breed only a few dogs in their homes by subjecting them to commercial standards of regulation 
as a result of co-ownership agreements with other small breeders.]]></description>

		<title>A dog breeder&#8217;s naivete&#8230;and what you should know about HSUS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No hobby that I know of has been subject to the harassment that dog breeders have.  I know of no other hobby where one must be looking over their shoulder at all times, worried that they might be violating a law simply because a dog’s nails might be longer than what subjective laws might consider long, or for having a piece of tartar on an old dog’s tooth.  I never in the world would have thought that my dogs’ veterinary care might be subject to legislation.  I didn’t anticipate having to dot my I’s and cross my t’s when it came to recording my dogs’ expenses.  And never in the world did I ever believe that fingers would be pointed or that “breeder” would become a dirty word.]]></description>

		<title>Federal PUPS Act&#8230;now has 153 cosponsors&#8230;breeders beware.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Ownership interest” is not defined.  Co-ownerships could be included – EVEN if the bitch does not reside on your property.  And what is “ownership interest”?  Do you have a clause in your contract to receive a pick puppy from a breeding?  That’s an ownership interest.  Does your contract include a clause that says if the dog cannot be kept, it should be returned to the breeder?  Ownership interest.    Does your contract indicate that you have a say in the potential sire?  Ownership interest.]]></description>
