MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Both Bill McFadden and Cathie Turner spoke last evening, October 1st, at the Westie Club meeting in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.  We were delighted to be on the program with Phil Guidry from the AKC.  When you consider that the first Federation in the United States was started in Pennsylvania*, the honor was even more signal. 

We are very proud of the work that CDOC has done over the last three years.  And it has been done by all of you —  who live here in California and by all those in other states who have supported our work financially.  We really have become a cutting edge group.  We don't try to cover every state*, we don't try to manage other animals; we are about dogs in California.  

Meetings with legislators in the days after the vote on SB250 have shown we are making progress.  Even those who did not vote our way have expressed their appreciation of the professionalism.

An important note — if you have not yet expressed your opinion on AB241, it is not too late.  Here is the information.   BY THE WAY, JUDIE MANCUSO IS PUSHING HER SUPPORTERS TO CALL THIS SYSTEM.

Automated system
1. Call 916.445.2841
2. Press 1 for english
3. Press 2 for legislation and you will get options 
Press 6 for AB241
pressing 1 will express approval and 2 opposition 

Please ask the Governor to veto this AB241.  

*Although California is our area of expertise, we have volunteered 1/2 of the income from the sale of Handling Secrets at the Montgomery shows to go to the Pennsylvania Federation for their legal fund.
