John was a trainer and breeder of setters, and helped to develop my dog Ted at his winter camp in Oklahoma several years ago. I spent a lot of time with him that winter in Oklahoma and we became friends.
john was a tireless and tenacious fighter for the rights of dog owners and founder of the American Sporting Dog Alliance. He made a major difference in the fight to defeat SB250 in California, and had a similar impact in many states where the rights of dog owners have been threatened by animal rights sponsored legislation.
My heart goes out to John's wife, Donna.
I will miss him.

I didn't know John as well as you, Mike, and I disagreed with his party politics. But no-one fought as passionately for the rights of sporting dogs and their owners as he did. We lost a champion.

I'm sad to hear about John! He certainly was a leader on the front lines in our defense!
