the Prez Sez
We are halfway through 2024! I hope everyone is surviving the slow time the pet industry is seeing. Let’s pray the end of 2024 will bring a brighter future. The Legislative assembly is now over; we didn’t get any of the bills passed that we were hoping for, but we were successful in stopping a lot of bad bills for the dog breeders. This is especially why we need Tony Duggar, our lobbyist, and JP Dunn, our executive director, in Jefferson City speaking for us, as well as Mindy Patterson with the Calvary Group working for the entire pet and animal industry in Washington. Mindy recently spent a week in Washington discussing Goldie’s Act and other current legislation with many Senators and Representatives. Look for pictures and an update from Mindy herself in this magazine! We are starting to plan the 2025 Missouri Pet Breeders Education Conference. We encourage you to begin making plans now to attend -- we expect it to be even bigger and better than last year! Keep watching our website for updates and events we’re planning for 2025.
