With new dog legislation being worked on and introduced almost daily,
we need to be extremely pro-active in order to ensure that our
hobby/sport of breeding and exhibiting dogs is protected.
Please review the list of member clubs link. If you belong to a club
that IS NOT listed please print a copy of our latest
newsletter, take it to your next club meeting and encourage
your club to join MassFed. If you are not a member please consider
joining MassFed as an individual. The larger our numbers grow
and the more we communicate the better our chances become of stopping
bad dog legislation.
We always welcome new members! Join MassFed!
MassFed publishes a newsletter sent to homes quarterly beginning February,
May, August, and November as part of your membership.
