Who is Jan Cooper and What is the BSL all about?The following is provided to introduce Jan Cooper, known for her active involvment in Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). Below is some information from one of her websites where you will find weekly updates through her news videos and audio clips of the world's canine breed specific legislation going on across the United States and Canada. At BreedersUSA, we are proud to support her dedication and love for the Pet Community. We invite all Dog Breeders and pet owners to do the same and to express your opinions both in our comments section below, and at the BreedersUSA forum.
Jan has been educating the general public and various officials for 2 decades on the problems with breed specific legislation (BSL). She has discussed how any form of BSL is not only impractical, but it does not prevent or reduce canine aggression or irresponsible individuals from obtaining dogs that can become aggressive.
Jan has spent over 40 years owning, training and working around various exotic and domestic members of the animal kingdom. Her hands on experiences are from training for the motion picture industry, working as a veterinary assistant, developing and holding classes entitled Basic Canine Home Companionship and maintaining zoological collections. She has written various articles during her lifetime on animal behavior to help the average pet owner. She has gone into private homes to observe and assist with unruly pets back before the term behavior modification became popular. She was taught to train, using what is now called positive reinforcement, by a respected dog trainer in the field. She has been honored and privileged to know some of the finest animal trainers in history. She became an ardent follower of the well known behaviorist, Conrad Lorenz. Jan has been an AKC Legislative Liaison since its inception as a private entity due to a newsletter which she published about her breed of choice, the Rottweiler.
Jan's love of the animal kingdom compelled her to spend her life in and around animals of every description. She ended her professonal career protecting the very species she came to know and love by moving into the field of law enforcing federal statutes and regulations of the animal kingdom. The various federal agencies Jan has worked for include USDA, APHIS, VS; USF&WS, LE Div; and NOAA NMFS LE Div. Jan's dedication to the preservation of the right and privilege of owning the breed of dog of your choice has been surpassed by few. It has always been that she believes every citizen should be allowed to own the breed of their choice BUT not that every citizen should be allowed to own a dog.
