Andy..yer right.
We have the Virginia Huntin Dogs Assoc. that heps me keep on top of such things...a great group that stays on top of the legislation/law end of things.Folks like them put a whole new aspect on havin a huntin dog..just like fightin fer yer huntin rights.

Similar legislation here in good ole Virginnie was introduced here, and the bill failed. Kinda makes you wonder what the true definition of a "reputable" breeder is...is the quality of the dog? Or should breeders be punished for the amount of dogs they bring into this world? Ludicrous..all of it.
There are far more folks that let their mutts run wild to breed far more than breeders. They need to focus on that..and you dam sure caint narrow it down to huntin dogs..theres more dam worthless poodles and beagles that wouldn't run a biscuit..more than good-blooded huntin dogs. They would rather see a beagle conform in shoulder height and toe width, than to see it do what it was bred fer..same with big hounds like redbones and walkers. What a bunch of retards.
