The Battalion Nation Thursday ‘April American Kennel Club recalls new book over controversy Tracks l^nrsday * Continued from Pagifl — NEW YORK (AP) — The Ameri can Kennel Club is recalling the lat est edition of its bible, “The Com plete Dog Book,” after pet owners objected that some of the nation’s most popular breeds were listed as not good with children. Scotties, Dalmatians, Yorkshire terriers, Rottweilers, dachshunds and 35 other breeds were deemed unsuitable for kids in the recently released 19th edition of a book that has sold more than 2 million copies since first being published in 1929. Within days, breeders and owners complained that the new classifica tions were unfair and uninformed. The Kennel Club quickly re called the $33 book and said it would be reissued. Sam Perry, a vice president and general counsel for the club, on Wednesday refused to discuss what revisions would be made or how the new classifica tions were determined. The Chicago Tribune, however, reported that the club was recalling the entire 30,000 first printing and eliminating the new feature that has caused the uproar: boxes that mark breeds as excellent, good or not good. “The information certainly was not supplied by anyone who evi dently knew what they were talking about,” said Patty Brooks of Straf ford, Mo., whose husband, Fred, is a breeder and president of the Scot tish Terriers Club of America. The list includes Chihuahuas, toy poodles and whippets, while breeds with more dangerous repu tations, like the American pit bull, are listed as good with children. \.GGI1 Williams said movii off campus to a less-f area will allow trainstOK and make less noise. “ These trains need: 1 like 60 miles perhourtOi.v : | cargo more efficient!: “And the faster theygo;'* 1 noise they make.
