Step #1 - Get Proud

Rottweiler owners are proud of their dogs - after all  - the Rottweiler is an ancient and noble breed.  But all dog owners, regardless of breed (or mix!) are too.

So get out there and be proud of your dog - show him or her off to neighbors, friends, the press - and of course politicians.  Socialze, socialize, socialize ( not just your dog but you too!).   Join groups, host a BBQ and take your dog out to meet and greet on the street!

Break those nasty breed and OWNER  stereotypes and don’t let anyone marginalize or criminalize you or your dog. Be proud of who you are, and be proud of your dog!

Step #2 - Get Loud

The squeaky wheel get’s oiled!  And that means at the very first hint of anything even remotely breed-specific (or anti-dog) in your community, it’s time to make some noise.

Pick up the phone - don’t be shy - and let you local polticians know that breed specific legislation is unacceptable - PERIOD. Call, write, fax, email - use every method of communication at your disposal to get you message across.

Don’t forget to let them know that any problem is usually solved by enforcing existing local ordinaces, and that you share the common goals of protecting the public health and safety of you community.

One last thing - make sure your politicians know you are a registered voter!

Step #3 - Bring A Crowd

Want to make sure local officials know how you feel? 

Bring a crowd and bring down the house!  Gather the biggest crowd of dog lovers, friends and supporters and sit in on your next city council meeting.  Be sure to fill every seat in the house - and they’ll be sure to get the message.

Be sure to get you friends on an email list so they too can keep abreast of local dog-related ordinances that might be detrimental to your four-legged best friends!

Get Your Head Out Of The Sand

Ignoring breed specific legislation won’t make it go away.    So get your head out of the sand and point your chin up,  and get going - today!

Take a good look at what’s going on in your community, your county and at the state level by plugging in to all of the resources at your disposal:  Yahoo Groups & email lists, AKC Legislative Alerts, BSL groups, local dog clubs and federation - and networking with other local pet owners.

The payoff? You can make a difference - not just for you, but for lots of other dogs and owners.   Oh - and of course you will help to secure a safe future for your own dog too!

Stand Up For Your Dog

If you don’t stand up for your dog, then who will?  Each and every dog owner should understand that taking a stand against breed specific legislation and other anti-dog laws comes with the territory.

That is unless you willing to roll over, play dead or surrender your dog today.  But for most dog owners, that’s not an option.

Stand up for your dog - and ALL dogs, REGARDLESS of breed or mix.   Don’t be shy, and for heaven’s sake, don’t let political lines or the age-old purebred vs. mutt mix divide you - it’s just not productive.

Now is the time for all good dog owners to come to the aid of dogs everywhere.  Ask not what your dog can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your dog!

What’s YOUR Excuse? (For IGNORING BSL)

Got excuses?  We all do.

We’re busy, we’re tired, we’ve got responsibilities.  We’re working, we’re poor, we’re rich, we’re working hard.

But when it comes to our dogs, maybe we’re not nearly working hard enough.

In fact, if we stacked up all of our excuses for ignoring BSL - we’d really look pretty lame.

But you can change all that.  Right now.  Today. So  if you really love your dog, let go of those lame excuses, and let’s get going on saving you dog - and saving your right to own a dog   - TODAY.

Isn’t Your Dog Worth It?

He’s worth it, isn’t he?  After all, you’ve raised him, trained him, fed him, loved him.

He’s family - and when it comes to family………. right?

So what’s holding you back? Is it too much trouble to ask family to stand up for family? 

He’d stand up for you - any day, any time, anywhere.

Too Tired To Fight BSL?

Sure,  it’s been a long day.  Heck - maybe it’s been the week from hell. 

Maybe you’ve had endless meetings, a school play, soccer practice or you’re working overtime to make sure you still have a job.

But that won’t stop you from eating -or breathing for that matter.  So we’d like to suggest to you that if you dog matters, that you squeeze him (or her) into you busy schedule.

Because of you really care  about your dog- you’ll carve out a few minutes here and there - to make sure yuo can still OWN a dog.

Sticking Your Head In The Sand About BSL?

Lot’s of people think that BSL is someone else’s problem.  Someone ELSE will take take of it.  Someone ELSE will fight it.  BSL is for someone ELSE’s dog.

But if that’s what you think - we’re glad you’re here.  We want to change your mind.

And if we can’t change your mind - then perhaps you shouldd plan on a change of scenery  - one that doesn’t inclue a Rottweiler  - or any other dog.

See, when you stick you head in sand about BSL, you stick your BUT in the air - for everyone else to see. 

But we’d rather see your smiling face, if you catch our drift.  So make it a point to get your head out of the sand and place your BUT where it belongs - in the driver’s seat.

We want to see YOU steer the conversation, we want to see YOU set the tone and direction - and be the pack leader for you community.  Your dog will thank you.
