The Ulster County Legislature has decided to not proceed with a vote on an ordinance that would have regulated breeders and imposed kennel requirements that were not in the best interest of dogs. 

The AKC was pleased to assist the efforts of local clubs and hobbyists who worked tirelessly to educate the legislature on the many problems with the proposal and the importance of supporting responsible dog owners and breeders. 

Thanks to your phone calls, e-mails, and communications, the legislature has decided to not vote on this ordinance and agreed to meet with local clubs and hobbyists to discuss their concerns. 

More information will be provided as it becomes available.  AKC GR thanks all those who continue to put so much time and effort into working with the legislature on this proposal.
