Shame on Dr. Sprigg

Current laws haven't been effective at protecting the tens of thousands of dogs in Missouri's puppy mills, many who are suffering in terrible conditions. Proposition B would apply to both licensed and unlicensed puppy mills and give law enforcement the tools to enforce basic care standards for dogs.

You can also read the actual language of Prop B and get answers to commonly asked questions on Prop B at www.yesonpropb.com/

Prop B will do NOTHING for unlicensed puppymills. Only YOU can do something......call Operation Bark Alert! AnneHSUS, if you know of tens of thousands of dogs in puppymills who are suffering in terrible conditions, why haven't YOU called yet? Shame on you for allowing the suffering to go on! HSUS is USING the suffering of those dogs to pass Prop B. If HSUS knows the location of suffering dogs, and hasn't called Bark Alert to shut them down, they should be prosecuted as an accomplice to illegal puppymill dog abuse. It is illegal already!

Vote NO on Prop B and prosecute the HSUS for allowing illegal puppymill suffering to continue.

Bob Baker, Dr. Sprigg may not know everything about the inner-workings of the laws, but she does know veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. She knows it is unnecessary for professional breeders to pay for yearly checkups for their breeding dogs. The dogs are visually checked every day, with hands-on exams many, many times throughout the year. We know our dogs and can tell immediately if they are having a bad day or need to be seen by the vet. Professional licensed breeders are trained in animal husbandry through seminars throughout the year, led by vets and other health professionals.

You ALSO misunderstand the rules. A dog housed alone must have double the minimum space to allow for exercise. Neither my kennel nor any of the MANY kennels I have seen stops at minimum requirements. EVERY kennel I have EVER seen allows MUCH more space than the minimum, and are ALL indoor-outdoor pens. The space demands of Prop B are just unreasonable and unnecessary. Vote NO on Proposition B.

The goal of Prop B is simply to end licensed breeding in Missouri based on nefarious space requirements, unreasonable maximums, and draconian regulations. It's been debunked as feel-good emotional legislation that will have no effect on the bad actors!

Dr.Sprigg is my vet and she is a good vet but she has shown a shameful lack of integrity regarding checkups and care for breeding dogs as opposed to pets. It is not okay to have over 50 dogs and not have them checked over and checked for parasites yearly. These breeders don't have labs on site and they aren't concerned about anything but making money. You only have to pay 150.00 a year for each 9 ******* and the government doesn't want you to file income tax until you have over 11 ******* as everything is written off under food,shelter, heat, air,and vet bills. Bordering state Kansas has to pay over 400.00 for their 9 *******. I used to have my own Kennel in Jefferson county registered with USDA and they NEVER INSPECTED ME1 I could have been a registered pupppy mill like so many are and allowed to carry on. The amendment is more legislation that might make people sit up and take notice of Missouri's laxity in Breeding Principles. American Pet Registry, the Champion of vote no on prop B could care less about bloodline remaining pure. AKC does DNA to make sure and all registries should have to. How else can you be sure of proper confirmation in a breed. AKC champions on confirmaiton so you will know that your dog bred from those lines will be healthy and of good temperament.

With all the epidemics that can spread, if your dogs are not checked yearly, something might be missed and a breakout of bacteria, parasite, viral, or a structural imbalance making that dog not a good candidate for breeding. Dog breeders indiscriminantly breed their ******* every 7 months in this state until they can whelp no more, if they live that long. The ******* should have a home found for them after 6 years of service at the most. Any vet that truly cares about the health of a ***** will tell you not to breed until the first 3 cycles are past and then to skip a cycle or two. Working Kennel Dogs deserve loe and good care also.

I am now a hobby breeder of Papillons which I show and breed on occasion.
