CDC Bans Foreign Dog Imports From 100 Countries
Why did this take so long? Yesterday the CDC announced that as of July 14 it will ban the importation of dogs from 100 different countries. No more tweaks to existing regulations.

Breed Priorities – Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is one of four breeds from Switzerland sharing a black base coat with white and red markings. The Bernese Mountain Dog, recognized by AKC in 1937, is the only one with a longer coat. The smaller Entlebucher Mountain Dog, the only one in the herding group, was recognized in 2011. The next larger Appenzeller Sennenhund has been in the AKC Foundation Stock Service since 2007. In FCI, all four breeds’ names include the word “Sennenhund” (instead of Mountain Dog) which refers to people called Senn who were Swiss alpine herdsmen and dairymen.

I was not discounting the wonderful work that some of our show dogs legitimately perform as service dogs. No one appreciates the work of service dogs more than I do. I have worked with service dogs in the past, and I find the work service dogs and therapy dogs do is nothing short of amazing.
