AKC Inspector Impersonation in OHIO

Wendt Worth Corgis has  personally called AKC Investigations and Inspections Dept. at 1-919-816-3629 and talked w/a gal that did verify that they received a call on this and that the individuals had a description and plate number to the vehicle and has been advised to talk to authorities. She also said anyone of their inspectors would be more then happy to wait for you to call AKC for verification and all AKC inspectors will have a photo ID on them and will patiently wait while you call AKC. Below is the forwarded message I have received.

Hi-I do know this is concerning Ohio-as I received an e-mail from Jack
Norton-of AKC-cautioning that another breeder in my area-North Central
Ohio-was visited by a person claiming to be the AKC compliance inspector.
Since she knew the inspector-she was concerned and called AKC to verify that
this was an AKC inspector. She was told that it was not-and did not permit
entry. No one knows for sure who this person was that is impersonating an
AKC inspector-but it is very suspicious-and may be an AR activist. We don’t
know-and AKC is issuing a warning for this area. They may try it again
elsewhere-so it is a good idea to verify anyone entering your facility. I
forwarded the original message to another Ohio breeder-and it has spread
from Ohio. Still- it could be tried anywhere-so be cautious.

Do animals need laws protecting them from shelters?

By Christie Keith, Special to SF Gate

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

She was a seven-month-old pit bull mix, chocolate brown with a white stripe running down her face. And in June of last year, she was lying on the New York City pavement with broken legs and ribs because the guy who owned her had just thrown her off the roof of his apartment building, six stories up.

She didn’t die that day. A surprising number of neighbors and bystanders called the police, and she was taken in by the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty for Animals, a large private shelter in New York City that also does animal cruelty investigations for the city — they’re the “Animal Cops” of Animal Planet fame.

The folks at the ASPCA named her “Oreo,” and they performed orthopedic surgery to repair her broken bones and treated her other serious injuries. She was dubbed “the miracle dog” by the New York media, and for a while it looked like that’s what she was.

She spent around five months in the ASPCA hospital and shelter, undergoing further treatment and rehabilitation. Then in November, the APSCA issued a statement that she was reacting aggressively to people and other dogs and was going to be killed.

At least one organization, the Pets Alive animal sanctuary in Middletown, N.Y., offered to take her in. They hoped that once out of the shelter environment, Oreo’s behavior would change.

It wasn’t an unreasonable hope. Dogs can become “kennel crazy,” a reaction to the confinement, lack of exercise and stress of a shelter or hospital. And Oreo’s physical condition might have been a factor, too. As anyone who’s ever had orthopedic surgery understands, the whole process hurts, and it hurts for months. What did she really know, at that point, except her early life with her abuser and what must have felt a lot like torture ever since?

Improved health care and diet — and lots of love — help pets live longer

For a long time, most dogs and cats died after 10 to 12 years, said Carol Osborne, a veterinarian and founder of the American Pet Institute in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

In a 13-year clinical study she has been conducting on the prevention of age-related degenerative diseases in canines, some large-breed dogs are enjoying high-quality lives even at 18 years of age, and some small-breed dogs are still going strong at 24.

But the overarching reason for longer life spans could be the way we view our pets as part of the family instead of “just an animal” or a worker helping out on a farm, Goldfarb said.

Americans are spending more money than ever to care for their pets — an estimated $45.5 billion in 2009, according to the American Pet Products Association. That figure has doubled in the past 10 years.

Dog Legislation Advances In Eight States

Dog Legislation On Brink In Eight States

Ohio, California, Indiana, Texas, Delaware,
Washington, Oklahoma And Tennessee

Legislation that would severely restrict the ability to raise high quality purebred dogs in a home environment is advancing rapidly in several states:

· In Ohio, new legislation was introduced this week that defines a breeding dog as any dog that is not spayed or neutered, and creates a new state Kennel Authority with the power to write and enforce regulations without legislative oversight.

· In California, the 13th reincarnation of last year’s failed bill to mandate spaying and neutering of all dogs faces a hearing before the Senate Local Government Committee on April 15. This bill would force the sterilization of any dog that is accused of being in violation of any animal law, even if the allegation is not proven. A second bill, AB 1122, has many dog owners very concerned about its impact on raising or competing with dogs.

· In Indiana, legislation that defines many serious hobbyists as “puppy mills” has passed both the House and Senate, faces a conference committee to resolve differences, and may be sent to the governor soon. Similar legislation is moving quickly in Washington and Oklahoma. While dog owners working with the American Sporting Dog Alliance have caused amendments to improve all three bills, the results still fall short of protecting our rights.

· Texas breeding legislation continues to be contained in committee, but animal rights groups are lobbying hard and a major push by dog owners is needed to make sure it stays in committee.

· And Tennessee legislation aimed at people who raise dogs is moving fast in both houses of the Legislature, and a hearing on similar legislation in Delaware was postponed after dog owners working with the American Sporting Dog Alliance filed strong objections.

Each of these states will be profiled separately below. They are part of a 34-state legislative push by the radical Humane Society of the United States that has resulted in more than 179 pieces of animal rights legislation targeting dog owners nationwide. Information about this legislation compiled by the Cat Fanciers Association also is profiled below.

Ohio Dog Owners Stop Rogue Warden

Richland County, Ohio, Dog Owners
Stop Illegal Kennel License Denials

by JOHN YATES
American Sporting Dog Alliance
http://www.americansportingdogalliance.org
asd@csonline.net

MANSFIELD, OH – When Richland County Dog Warden Dave Jordan tried to break the state law in order to deny kennel license applications, dog owners didn’t take it laying down.

They carried their fight to the county auditor, the county commissioners and the local newspaper, and they won.

We urge all Ohioans to read this report, as we have some evidence that the Ohio Dog Warden’s Association is encouraging other counties to break the law. We also have received an unconfirmed report that at least one other county is breaking the state kennel licensing law, and there may be more.

Application for annual licenses must be filed before January 31, and anyone without a license is subject to fines and the possible seizure of dogs.

For decades, Ohioans who raise dog have been permitted by law to purchase a kennel license for five or more dogs that is more economical than purchasing individual tags. In Richland County, the kennel license fee has been set at $80, and individual licenses are $16 apiece. For people who raise dogs, the cost savings is significant.

But Jordan tried to ignore the state law by issuing kennel licenses only to people who make at least 50-percent of their income from breeding dogs. Of the 25 county residents who have applied for their 2009 licenses thus far, Jordan granted only four and denied the rest. Last year, a reported 235 county residents received kennel licenses. Thus, it would appear that Jordan’s actions are discouraging law-abiding people from complying with the licensing law.

State law clearly allows people who raise dogs to qualify for a kennel license, and there is no requirement in the law for any income derived to be an applicant’s livelihood or even a substantial source of income. Most hobbyists, including hobby breeders, consider their kennels an avocation, and most of them lose a lot of money to pursue their love of dogs.

We can only speculate about Jordan’s motivations for attempting to rewrite the law.

At best, it can be seen as an attempt to fund animal control by soaking law-abiding dog owners for added costs. This is irrational as well as illegal, as law-abiding dog and kennel owners do not contribute significantly to animal control costs or burdens.

Instead of unfairly burdening law abiding dog owners, the American Sporting Dog Alliance suggests that Jordan work a little harder at enforcing existing laws, as a reported 60-percent of county dog owners don’t bother to buy a license of any kind. People who are guilty of breaking the law should be penalized and pay the costs, not law-abiding dog owners. Jordan should work harder at finding the scofflaws, and spend less time harassing the innocent.

At worst, Jordan’s actions could be interpreted as part of the animal rights agenda to try to gradually eliminate people who raise dogs by increasing costs and subjecting them to heavy-handed enforcement measures. This tactic is a cornerstone of the animal rights political strategy to gradually eliminate all private ownership of animals in America.

Jordan was quoted in an article in the Mansfield News-Journal as saying that his application process was meant to prevent situations where animals are abused. He referred to an elderly woman whose kennel was raided last June, and 80 dogs were seized because they were in very poor condition.

The American Sporting Dog Alliance simply doesn’t buy this explanation. While the June situation was tragic, existing laws already provide all of the tools that an animal control officer or humane society police officer needs to shut down any operation where dogs are treated inhumanely. The June incident was proof that existing laws work, and is not a justification for new laws.

Moreover, the questionnaire that Jordan gave to kennel license applicants did not address humane care issues, but was concerned only with finances.

Existing law already gives Jordan and other dog wardens the power to inspect every licensed kennel and to enforce humane standards of care.

Richland County dog owners began to protest Jordan’s actions as soon as their applications started to be denied, in violation of the law.

The law requires county auditor’s to issue the licenses when payment is received. Once the license is issued, a dog warden then is empowered to inspect kennels and enforce the law.

However, this year, reportedly at the request of Jordan, Auditor Patrick W. Dropsey, turned the entire process over to the dog warden. That is when Jordan began to rewrite the law and illegally deny applications.

Concerned dog owners approached Dropsey, who refused to help them by assuring compliance with the law. They then approached the county commissioners.

The commissioners should be commended for listening to the concerns of dog owners, and then acting promptly to assure compliance with the law and to stop Jordan from breaking it. Please contact County Commissioners Ed Olson, Gary Utt and Tim Wert to thank them for their help. They did a fine job. Here is a link to a form to send an email the commissioners: http://www.richlandcountyoh.us/comments.htm.

Please also thank Mansfield News-Journal Reporter Jami Kinton for her fine job of providing fair, balanced, accurate and thorough press coverage of this issue. Ms. Kinton’s email is jkinton@nncogannett.com.

Here is a link to the report written by Ms. Kinton, and also readers’ comments about the article on an open blog: http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/article/20090101/NEWS01/3010100….

The American Sporting Dog Alliance assisted and supported local dog owners, and wish to commend them for taking action in the face of considerable risk.

We provided information and suggestions, but they carried the fight to the commissioners and won. Their courage and dedication are an inspiration to dog owners everywhere.
