The Voice of the AKC on AB 1634
The California mandatory spay/neuter bill, AB 1634, has resulted in massive opposition among the purebred dog community and other affected animal interest groups. Many AKC clubs and individual owners are actively involved in the effort to defeat this legislation. We commend the efforts of all Californians opposing AB 1634.
However, it should be noted that AKC’s official position on this issue is only represented by members of our Board of Directors, AKC staff or our legislative consultant -- Jeff Leacox of the firm of Greenberg Taurig, LLP. Mr. Leacox is the only California lobbyist that the AKC is working with in its opposition to AB 1634.
We welcome the opportunity to work with all opponents of AB 1634 but would like to remind legislators, media and concerned citizens that the AKC should be contacted directly to verify AKC positions on this legislative issue.
