#d1 #bjag,mr4 ,yoho 7for himself1 ,mr4  
,schrader1 and ,mr4 ,abraham7 submitted 
the following concurrent resolution2    
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,oversight and ,government ,reform      
,,concurrent ,,resolution  ,expressing  
support for the designation of a        
,national ,purebred ,dog ,day4  ,whereas
 there is currently no day set aside to 
celebrate and acknowledge the           
contributions of the purebred dog1 and  
we wish to designate a day to expressly 
recognize those contributions2 ,whereas 
purebred dogs are living legacies of the
 cultures that created them1 and        
historically these dogs worked alongside
 their people and provided them         
companionship2 ,whereas today1 the      
service of these breeds continues as    
they work alongside humans and provide  
inestimable companionship while serving 
as guide dogs1 service dogs1            

conservation dogs1 livestock guardians1 
search and rescue dogs1 earth dogs1     
police dogs1 canine soldiers serving by 
the sides of our military men and women1
 and ultimately guardians of family1    
home1 and hearth2 ,whereas purebred dogs
 have been of enormous help to medical  
science1 serving as models for many     
heritable human diseases1 playing a role
 in humanity's understanding of the     
human and canine genomes1 and benefiting
 pharmaceutical research and            
development2 ,whereas purebred dogs are 
working dogs1 serving as avalanche dogs1
 trackers and trailers1 herders1        
controllers of vermin1 water rescuers1  
carting and sled dogs1 retrievers1      
protectors1 hunters1 and bird dogs1 and 
always they are the heartbeat of a      
companion near and dear to humans2      
,whereas all dogs should be valued1     
whatever their ancestry1 but the        
purpose-bred dog and the predictability 
of its breed should be cherished and    
preserved2 and ,whereas each breed is   

indelibly etched in the history of the  
culture that created it just as surely  
as that culture's music1 art1 and       
language3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that 
,congress supports the designation of a 
,national ,purebred ,dog ,day4
