Canine Legislation Information

As much as it pains this cat to admit it, dogs have rights, too. Those with an interest in animal law may find the American Kennel Club's ("AKC") Canine Legislation Web page worthwhile. The AKC's Canine Legislation Department monitors and provides input on federal, state, and local legislation governing responsible dog ownership. This site provides dog-related legislation, as well as position statements on laws that affect dogs and dog ownership. Various position statements cover such issues as the use of dogs in research, homeowners' insurance and dangerous dogs, breeding restrictions, ear cropping, and the like.
