A RESOLUTION
Commending the benefits and contributions of purebred dogs to the State of Georgia and recognizing May 1, 2026, as Georgia Purebred Dog Day; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, dedicated individuals in Georgia breed dogs to develop unique, predictable characteristics that enable dogs to excel in a wide range of beneficial areas;
WHEREAS, purebred dogs are living legacies of the cultures that created them, and historically these dogs worked alongside their people and provided them companionship;
WHEREAS, today, the service of these breeds continues as they work alongside humans and provide inestimable companionship while serving as guide dogs, service dogs, conservation dogs, livestock guardians, search and rescue dogs, earth dogs, police dogs, canine soldiers serving by the sides of our military men and women, and ultimately guardians of family, home, and health;
WHEREAS, purebred dogs have been of enormous help to medical science, serving as models for many heritable human diseases, playing a role in humanity's understanding of the human and canine genomes, and benefitting pharmaceutical research and development; and
WHEREAS, purebred dogs are working dogs, serving as avalanche dogs, trackers and trailers, herders, controllers of vermin, water rescuers, carting and sled dogs, retrievers, protectors, hunters, and bird dogs, and always have been the heartbeat of a companion near and dear to humans; and
WHEREAS, all dogs should be valued, whatever their ancestry, but the purpose-bred dog and the predictability of its breed should be cherished and preserved; and
WHEREAS, each breed is indelibly etched in the history of the culture that created it just as surely as that culture's music, art, and language.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body commend the many contributions of purebred dogs to society in this State and recognize May 1, 2026, as Georgia Purebred Dog Day. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
