It happens rarely, but once in a while a Bulldog goes Best In Show.
This time it happened in Utah at a back-up show to the Utah Bulldog Club specialties—InterMountain Kennel Club, on Thursday,
April 30, 2009. Bulldogs had the largest entry so it was fitting, all
else being equal, that a Bulldog attain this high honor.

President's Message
HAPPY MAY DAY!
Hope we all enjoy a beautiful spring. Many thanks to
Suzy Holleran, our Spring Puppy Match chair; judge
Jessica Pangilinan and trainer Doris Boyd for the
show ring training for our puppies! Our shows are
only successful through all the efforts you have made
to come and support the club and help our chairperson. Great job, Suzy!!!
Now we focus ahead on our July Breeders Match. The
Breeders Match was created to recognize club members who are trying to breed better dogs. Anyone can
show their dog (pet owners) so long as they are bred
or sired by a club member’s dog. The ribbons and
prizes go to the breeder (the puppy and owners get the
kudos!).
We incorporate a wonderful "Play Day Picnic" with
our Breeders Match. We again encourage all members
to come and enjoy the day; the Breeders Match will
again be held at the Pet Food Express offices. Of
course, bring shade and water for your dogs.
We are planning a BBQ lunch and you are encouraged
to bring pot luck dishes to share. We will have fun
games and prizes for the dogs! Come and have fun
with your dog.
Mark your calendars now, not to
miss the day!

Old Business:
Breeder Referral
Lots of discussion on this topic. It was reported that not all
breeders are responding very quickly to email inquiries, and
that Breeder Referral should not just be about selling puppies,
but an opportunity and responsibility to educate the public.
One suggestion was that every breeder on the referral list
give back “time” as in managing a table at a meet up, or show
etc., with educational items. Another idea was having each
person on the list create a "standard" inquiry response that
they could send out for those times they have no puppies, or
are rushed for time. One more idea was to form a committee
to find/develop a bulldog puppy inquiry response packet that
could be emailed/mailed out to interested people. No decisions were made.
A motion was passed to:
1. Include the word “INFORMATION” to Breeder referral
on the website
2. Increase the referral charge to $20/year
3. Re-sign the code of ethics yearly.
Ways and Means
We need a chairman for this committee. Kim Lucier kindly
volunteered.

NOMINATIONS FOR CONFORMATION
ALLEN BRECKLEY
MARK R. KENNEDY
With the help of Bob and Lee Hughes of Kismet Kennels, and friends
from the Inland Empire Bulldog Club, I purchased my first Bulldog in
1962. It was a white bitch that grew to be 40 pounds. We bred and
showed for a few years, then took a respite to raise a family and build a
business. In 1986 we joined the Pacific Coast Bulldog Club and started
breeding and showing again. We have been lucky enough to become
Hall of Fame breeders and along the way have made some great friends.
I have been President of PCBC, a National Councilor for Division III,
and I am President of The Bulldog Club of America Charitable Fund.
Mark Kennedy of Ballydown Bulldogs has been involved in Bulldogs
over 46 years. He started showing Bulldogs at age 9 with his mom and
sister and competed in Juniors and Conformation. He has finished a total
of 45 champions to date and has several group and specialty winners.
Mark is a member of the Bulldog club of Pittsburgh, currently serving as
secretary. He has been show chairman many times for his home club and
is also active in the West PA Kennel Association. He has been a licensed
judge since age 24 and has judged Bulldogs in Kansas City, Philadelphia, New England, Houston and Tampa. He is now approved to judge

Director of Government Relations
Several of the provisions in Senate Bill 250 are unreasonable.
March 2009
For example, Section 1 (g) requires anyone who sells an intact
News from the State Capitols
(Continued on page 11)
The California Bulldogge—May 2009
Page 10
animal to post the animal’s license number. However, most jurisdictions do not require or provide for licensing an animal under
the age of four months and most puppies and kittens are sold
before they reach that age.
Further, Section (c) (2) can force owners to sterilize their pets on
the basis of two complaints "verified by the department" that a
dog has run at large. It is unclear what that language actually
compels a department to do to verify the complaint. Any threshold should be based solely on impoundments or issued citations.
Section (c) (3) allows an intact dog license to be revoked for any
violation of state or local laws relating to the care and control of
animals. Section (i) (1) includes another laundry list of violations
for which a dog must be sterilized. Under Section (j) it is unclear
whether owners who have a current intact license would be
forced to spay/neuter their pet after a single impoundment.
With the confusion of overlapping jurisdictions and a high number of people being forced to move due to foreclosures, it is easy
to see how an owner could overlook pet licensure. Instead of encouraging these people to come in to compliance, SB 250 penalizes them by requiring sterilization, even for a single offense. In
addition, many jurisdictions within California already have extreme laws limiting the number of animals that residents may
own, and as a result, some owners are unable to license all their
animals for fear of being forced to choose between beloved pets
or having to place their pets in shelters.
Finally, the term "custodian" is used in the bill, but is not defined
in the legislation or within the existing Food and Agriculture
Code. This term is simply another word for "guardian." The
American Kennel Club supports the use of the term "owner"
rather than "guardian" when referring to the keeping of dogs. The
AKC believes that the term guardian may in fact reduce the legal
status and value of dogs as property and thereby restrict the rights
of owners, veterinarians, and government agencies to protect and
care for dogs. It may also subject them to frivolous and expensive
litigation. The term guardian does nothing to promote more responsible treatment of dogs. We strongly support efforts to educate the public about responsible dog ownership to ensure that all
dogs receive the care, love and attention they deserve.
The American Kennel Club strongly supports and promotes responsible pet ownership. However, SB 250 unreasonably punishes owners who choose to maintain intact animals and does not
address the fundamental reasons that animals are surrendered, or
assist those pet owners who are losing their homes and jobs. This
measure will only increase the burdens on animal control departments in California.
What You Can Do:
Please contact your State Senator and ask him or her to oppose
SB 250. To find out who represents you in the State Senate,
please go to http://www.legislature.ca.gov/port-zipsearch.html
2009 Legislative Success
The AKC Government Relations Department is working hard
Page 11
with local federations, dog clubs, and concerned owners to protect the rights of responsible dog owners. Despite the many challenges we have seen so far this year, there have been a number of
victories for owners, breeders, and fanciers at the state and local
level.
2008 Year in Review
2008 was a busy year for AKC's Government Relations Department. A combination of sound policy, motivated and welleducated constituents, and lots of long hours resulted in many
successes.
AKC Distributes New Bulletin to Congress
AKC's Government Relations and Club Communications Departments recently teamed up to produce a new publication for federal lawmakers and their staffs. In Session – AKC's Congressional Newsletter features news and information from the world
of dogs, including information on the AKC and our nearly 5,000
affiliated clubs. In addition to regular commentaries and analyses
on current dog-related policy and legislative issues, the newsletter highlights AKC's public education programs, charitable donations, and other grass roots initiatives that benefit all dogs and
their owners and communities.

Bill, will be heard by the California
