To all Members – Dogs ACT has received reports from councillors about your concerns with the draft ACT legislation which we flagged in December.
At the Council meeting Council held on Wed 16th Jan, they noted these concerns and made arrangements to acknowledge them.
The link to the draft legislation is https://www.yoursay.act.gov.au/animal-welfare-bill-amendments?fbclid=IwAR3SYkj63u7Y1wXF0WTBDQ2GYZTNKQtFq8ohT4y5CdQaCGl-Y3AqhtC3aAI

URGENT INFORMATION FOR ALL DOGS ACT AFFILIATES
Dogs ACT wishes to advise members and exhibitors that we have been advised that a dog that was exhibited on the grounds last weekend (29/30Sep & 1 Oct 2018)has been diagnosed with parvovirus. The dog was vaccinated, the owner caught it early and the dog is recovering well. We will be taking steps to spray the grounds with a parvocide. In the meantime, training classes will be relocated to another area. In the meantime, please watch your dogs.
