July 20, 2022 https://www.akc.org/legislative-alerts/south-carolina-two-year-legislative-session-ends-wins-dogs-dog-owners/ The 2021-2022 South Carolina legislative session and special sessions concluded with victories for dogs and dog owners. The American Kennel Club Government Relations team (AKC GR) thanks club members, sportsmen, dog owners, allied organizations, and every individual who contacted their state lawmakers about legislation that affects dogs. Highlights from the two-year legislative session: House Bill 4094 contained problematic findings about “pit bull” dogs and sought to restrict ownership of and require registration with an animal control agency of “fertile” pit bulls. These requirements would have applied to “American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers,” dogs displaying the physical traits of one or more of the breeds, or a dog exhibiting the distinguishing characteristics that conform to the standards established by the AKC for any of the breeds. AKC GR strongly opposed this legislation, issued an alert, and sent a letter of concern to subcommittee members. The bill did not advance during the two-year session. House Bill 3067 sought to require that any second violation of the state law’s Chapter on Cruelty to Animals would have required forfeiture of ownership of all animals and a prohibition from owning an animal for five years. AKC GR opposed this bill because it contained excessive penalties and mandatory restrictions for certain offenses that do not involve the care and keeping of animals, and for violations of certain provisions that do not involve harm to an animal. The bill failed sine die. Senate Bill 186 sought to create new language regarding dog training techniques and devices, and to delete certain exemptions under current law for hunting dogs. AKC requested a clarifying amendment to protect the training and use of dogs for herding; flock guarding; vermin control; tracking, trailing, or treeing; field work; and hunting. The bill did not advance during the two-year session. Senate Bill 556 sought to make changes to laws that govern trapping. As introduced, this bill could have increased hazards for dogs whose owners participate in field trials, Coonhound events, hunting, and training for these sports, as well as hiking, wilderness camping, and other outdoor activities with dogs. Read AKC GR’s alert on S 556 as it was originally introduced. AKC GR recommended amendments to safeguard dogs, and the bill was favorably amended in committee. It passed in the Senate, but died in House committee. Legislation to support going forward: AKC GR continues to support enactment of legislation similar to Senate Bill 378. This bill would have increased penalties for teasing or injuring police dogs and horses, and provided that a person convicted shall pay restitution for costs of restoring or replacing a police animal and complete 500 hours of community service. SB 378 passed in the Senate, but did not advance in House committee. AKC encourages bill sponsors to reintroduce this legislation. Get prepared for 2023! Problematic bills could be refiled for the 2023 session. Take time now to meet with your state senator and representative in their home districts. Let them know that you, your AKC club, and the AKC Government Relations Department are reliable and knowledgeable resources on dog issues. 2022 is an election year. Encourage fellow dog owners to register to vote. Get to know candidates for office, learn about their positions on animal issues, and support dog-friendly candidates for seats in the state legislature.

Learn about key issues affecting dogs and become familiar with AKC GR’s materials you can download and use. By working together, we can support good legislation like SB 378 and oppose problematic bills, thereby protecting our rights to own, exhibit, breed, and enjoy the dogs we love.

It's such a special honor for him and so well deserved. Mike has been involved with beagles since his early years. Its best that he tells you how it began 'In his own words'. Imagine the joy of a young boy going rabbit hunting with his father! That is how my love of beagling began. My dad had a pack of grade dogs, and we would kill about twenty rabbits every time we loaded them up and went hunting. Those were fun times and treasured memories. Yet I found that I liked running dogs, training puppies and watching them develop more so than killing rabbits. Part of this was due to the influence of a good friend, William Pratt Ferguson, a Hall of Fame brace beagler. He got me involved in brace trials and taught me how to breed beagles to get the traits that I wanted. On his advice, I studied thousands of pedigrees to better understand genetics. Later I decided that I wanted more of a hunting type beagle, so I started going to SPO trials. I realized quickly this was the type of dog that I wanted – one that has the versatility to hunt and complete in field trials. I found some males I liked that were Gay bred and crossed them with my brace females. Within a couple of crosses, I had a female named Bullocks Creek Jane Ann. She had Gay, Buzz Bomb, and Little Man bloodlines. I bred her to Double M’s Cocoa Bear, and that was the cross that really got me going as it resulted in FC Bullocks Creek Smoke and FC Bullocks Creek Hoss! As of today, I have produced over 30 field champions out of my kennel. I have personally finished 14 hounds, and three of my males have produced 13 champions each. The only one I didn’t breed was FC Phil’s Line Drive Jake. He was out of FC Bullocks Creek Smoke. My dear friend Phil Nixon was the breeder of record for Jake. My goal in beagling has been to help the breed by producing versatile dogs built for hunting and trialing. In 2016 I was the UBGF Breeder of the Year, and in 2010, I had the top performing 13” female in UBGF. I serve on the Board of Directors for Foothills Beagle Club. My desire is to help fellow beaglers by looking at their pedigrees and suggesting crosses that might work best, by sharing information on treatments for different conditions their beagles might have, and by nurturing the love of beagling in young fellows in the sport. Denzel Washington says it best: “at the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back." Two Couple Pack Trial 02/26/2022Belton, SC - Thanks to all who came out and supported Foothills this weekend.
