Clifton could be the long lost brother of Colleen Lynn. I hope he was reading the news that the CDC stopped tracking dog bites by breed.

More misinformation, deceit and attempts to mislead from Merritt Clifton
It almost seems that if I were looking I could make this a weekly column, but this one is too bizarre to pass up, and given that I've seen the latest piece from Merritt quoted in a couple of places already, I suppose I might as well nip this in the bud. In the latest issue of Merritt's self publ...
I'm not sure if this is the same study but here also is one from the Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida:

A New Study discussing the reliability of visual breed identification
In a new study that was just released, researcher Victoria Voith once again exposes the challenges of identifying dominant breeds of mixed breed dogs, even by "experts" in the field. I think the research is important for a lot of reasons (some different from what others have surmised), and wort...
One has to learn to ignore and just concentrate on the things that are essential.

Know the opposition: Anatomy of a distraction
This is the second in a series of posts on the common tactics used in public discussions of animal sheltering reform by opponents of No-Kill. This one today is a perennial favorite of theirs: The distraction. One of the reasons they like it so much is No-Kill advocates seem to fall for it a lo...
Brent, as always you are spot on with this story. You actually can find the exact same dilemma in Miami-Dade. I believe it was in October (or maybe November?)of last year when Mimai-Dade declared itself a No Kill community. I refuse to accept that statement because at the same time Miami-Dade has one of the toughest Breed Specific Legislation in place. Every dog that enters the shelter and is on the "not allowed to have" list will be killed. How can that be No Kill? It is a contradiction within itself.

Hiding behind the word "adoptable"
Last week, there was a news story out of Springfield, MO about their successful, 19 week run, at being a "no kill" shelter. While, there are many good points about the story, it did highlight for me maybe one of my biggest pet peeves in animal sheltering that I feel like I'm seeing a lot more o...
Outstanding! Thank you very much for the detailed report.

Dog Attack Fatalities 2011 Final Report
I've stated this before, but I think it bears repeating. This is probably my least favorite thing I write about on this blog. I've often thought about discontinuing writing about dog attack fatalities because frankly there is so much POSITIVE stuff about dogs that I'd rather write about and ther...
