Dear Rex and Tanya, 

May 1st is here, and that means it is time to celebrate National Purebred Dog Day (or NPDD for short, #NPDD)! National Purebred Dog Day was created in 2013 by writer and Puli fancier, Susi Szeremy, to celebrate the heritage and diversity of the purebred dog. Good Dog and Ms. Szeremy believe that all dogs should be celebrated, whatever their ancestry, but NPDD is an opportunity to pay homage to the purpose-bred dog and the predictability of its breed, as Ms. Szeremy explains. Check out this video to learn more about NPDD!

We were lucky enough to chat with Ms. Szeremy and learn all about why she founded NPDD! Ms. Szeremy hopes NPDD is not only a chance to celebrate the heritage, diversity, and predictability of the purebred dog, but also a chance to celebrate how important purebred dogs are in human history and cultures. She created NPDD to celebrate the purebred dog in all its forms. It is also a chance to celebrate purebred, preservation breeders for their contributions to society and hard work preserving the breeds we all know and love and creating the next generation of healthy, well-adjusted dogs. 


At a young age, Ms. Szeremy saw firsthand the impact a purebred dog could have. “My mother had a Puli growing up in Hungary who they sadly lost in a bombing. I searched for the right Puli preservation breeder for years, and when I finally found one and brought the pup to my mother, she buried her face in the dog and wept.” This helped Ms. Szeremy understand that purebred dogs can be etched in personal and cultural history. Ms. Szeremy wishes people could see that when a purebred dog is bred lovingly, carefully, and with knowledge and a plan, that dog can be a wonderful companion for life! 


Join us in celebrating National Purebred Dog Day to celebrate purebred dogs and the breeders who preserve these breeds by sharing photos of you and your pups using #NPDD, #NatPurebredDogDay or #nationalpurebreddogday! Post on Facebook, Instagram, or wherever else you get your social media!

Tag us @goodbreedercenter on Facebook or @gooddog on Instagram on your #NPDD post for a chance to win free health testing for your dogs! 

This is a great day to show off your dogs, help educate the public, and, as with every day, be proud to be a dog breeder! Please help us spread the word and spread the love to help give our dogs and the people who love them the world they deserve. Feel free to forward this email to your fellow breeders, breed clubs, puppy buyers, or anyone who you think would appreciate the message of National Purebred Dog Day!


For more information, please check out the National Purebred Dog Day site.


Warmly,

The April Newsletter was published 4/30/2020.

For 2020 we acquired training for the Puppy Culture program. We are now following the program. Because of that, the time that our puppies go to their new homes was changed from 10 weeks to 12 weeks. The change will produce well-adjusted temperaments and less dog on dog aggression in our puppies. We also expect it to reduce the number of neophobic puppies.

Victory in Ohio: Pet Store Definition Amended to Protect Home-Based Breeders

 by Rex Gaylord on 07/23/19

The overbroad interpretation of an existing Ohio law by the new Director of Ohio Department of Agriculture Dorothy Pelanda has been fixed by the legislature (Senator Bob Peterson, Senator William P. Coley III, Representative Sara Carruthers and Representative Laura Lanese) and signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine July 18th. See Victory in Ohio: Pet Store Definition Amended to Protect Home-Based Breeders.  Please join in thanking them if so inclined for resolving this flawed law.  It seemed like a huge issue to small Ohio breeders like me, but was such a small issue in the greater scheme of things that needed their attention.  Their contact info is listed below:

Ohio Department of Agriculture - Pet Store Definition

 by Rex Gaylord on 03/02/19


The Ohio Department of Agriculture under the leadership of new Director Dorothy Pelanda has interpreted the definition of a pet store in Ohio to include anybody who sells a dog in the state of Ohio.  A "Pet Store" must obtain a Pet Store License.  Due to this, Sho Mai Sou has stopped the transfer of ownership of any of our dogs or puppies.  We will resume the transfer of our dogs and puppies when we either get a Pet Store License, the Ohio Law is changed or the Ohio Department of Agriculture reverses their decision.  Below is the definition in question:

A "Pet store" is defined as an individual retail store to which both of the following apply: the store sells dogs to the public; and with regard to the sale of a dog from the store, the sales person, the buyer of a dog, and the dog for sale are physically present during the sales transaction so that the buyer may personally observe the dog and help ensure its health prior to taking custody. "Pet store" does not include an animal rescue for dogs, an animal shelter for dogs, a humane society, a medical kennel for dogs, or a research kennel for dogs.

While I totally disagree with the ODA interpretation that we are an "Individual Retail Store" that is referred to in the Ohio State Statue definition of a "Pet Store," we will comply with the Ohio Department of Agriculture decision until the issue is resolved.
