As part of AKC Government Relations’ continued effort to empower dog owners and advocates, we are continuing to provide new and updated policy resources in the Key Issues section of the AKC Legislative Action Center. 

In an effort to address animal control, nuisance, and humane care concerns, many lawmakers seek to enact limits on animal ownership.  To help dog owners communicate the many concerns and problems with limit laws, AKC GR has updated a one page, printable handout with talking points for legislators.

We encourage dog owners to share this handout with lawmakers wanting to introduce legislation or local proposals on this issue.  And be sure to keep checking back, as AKC GR continues to add new resources on a broad variety of key legislative issues. 

The AKC Legislative Action Center is a one-stop shop for dog owners, club members, and breeders to find the tools and resources you need to be an advocate for your dogs and breeding program.  Be sure to visit www.akcgr.org for the latest legislative alerts, as well as numerous advocacy tools and resources on a broad range of canine legislative issues.
