🚨 URGENT: Protect Hunting Dogs & Our Way of Life 🚨

Most people have no idea this is happening…

Anti-hunting groups have quietly slipped language into the Federal Farm Bill under the guise of targeting greyhound racing — but it goes far beyond that.

H. R. 5017: A BILL To amend the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit commercial greyhound racing, live lure training, and open field coursing, and for other purposes.

This language has the potential to criminalize the use of working dogs as we know it.

That means:
• Sight hounds
• Scent hounds
• Bird dogs/gundogs

ALL could be affected.

As someone who breeds and trains gundogs, this hits close to home. If this passes, we are no longer just talking about regulations; we are talking about the end of preserving and working these breeds the way they were meant to be.

Something as simple and standard as using a live pigeon to steady a young dog, a foundational training method, could be considered a FELONY.

Let that sink in.

This isn’t about “extreme cases.” This directly impacts responsible dog owners, trainers, hunters, and breeders who are committed to maintaining the purpose, drive, and integrity of these dogs.

And let’s be clear, even if this is being framed around greyhounds, that is THEIR heritage too. These dogs were bred to run, chase, and work. Banning that doesn’t just change a sport — it erases generations of purpose and history. 🐾

If we lose the ability to train and work them, we lose the breeds themselves.

Many people feed their families and pay their bills by training dogs.

Pay attention. Read the bill. Speak up. Contact your representatives.

Because once it’s gone, we won’t get it back.

EDIT: For those saying this is being blown out of proportion or “not true” — go read the bill. Sharing information isn’t blowing things out of proportion; it’s called awareness and education.

It explicitly states: (at the very top of the bill)

“To amend the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit commercial greyhound racing, live lure training, and open field coursing, and for other purposes.”

That language matters. Those terms are broad, and once something like this is passed at the federal level, it opens the door to much wider interpretation and enforcement.

Do your own research, but don’t ignore it. ⚠️

Had another great wknd competing and gettn to hang out with some great people at the Hogbaying.com finals.

Wife and kids got to run their dogs, and showed great sportsmanship as the weekend progressed. Very proud of how well they are doing handling their dogs in a sport we just learned about last year. Lol

- Was awarded 2025 Rookie Kennel of the Year
- Chelsie and her little black dog Lil Joe placed 2nd in the 2dog Open
- Couple of our teams made it to the first bay-off, then made small mistakes in the 2nd go-round.

Very proud of our kennel. Both the dogs and handlers have been steadily progressing. Cant wait to see what next season brings
