Larry:
Have you heard about an outcropping of brucellosis in several places in the US and especially in Kentucky. I have been contacted in regards to contributing to a handout of leaflets to publicize this fact by an SPO magazine. The magazine claimed that some of the SPO events for this spring are being required by the AKC to have all dogs tested prior to being entered. Also some of the ARHA events are requiring it too. I want to contact some people regarding this information. As you know I start about fifty pups a year and sure don't want to expose my whole kennel by bringing in pups that might be positive.
Thanks,
Jim
