-- Legislation introduced last month in Colorado that would have limited the number of dogs breeders could keep and mandate veterinary certification exams for commercially bred dogs has been set aside indefinitely.
The Colorado House Agriculture Committee voted Jan. 28 to table House Bill 1172 and has not scheduled any further hearings on it.
Introduced by Beth McCann (D-Denver), the bill would have allowed breeders to own no more than 25 unsterilized dogs over 6 months of age. Veterinary exams would have been required to certify that breeding dogs were in good health and other rules could have been created by the state's agriculture commissioner.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the American Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) supported the bill, while the American Kennel Club (AKC) was in opposition.
