If you live in Cecil county, Md and own an intact show or performance dog you need to keep this on your radar - my girlfriend in CA has to pay $400/year for an intact dog over the age of 6 months old - and it was "discussion" like below that allowed them to discuss and make "changes" to the fees for licensing - be on guard when fees mentione are vague and not identified.

Cecil County, MD Update: Ask the Commission for a Hearing!
Date of Article: June 10, 2011
In early May, the Cecil County, Maryland Board of Commissioners announced that a public hearing would be conducted to discuss the proposed changes to the county’s licensing requirements. As noted in AKC’s previous Legislative Alert, these changes will likely include numerous new licenses for those who own intact dogs, breed dogs, or participate in dog events such as conformation shows, obedience or field trials, or hunting.
To date, the Commission has not scheduled a hearing, but the proposal is still under consideration. It is important that responsible dog owners and breeders continue to contact the County Administrator and Commission. Politely express your concerns with the proposal and ask them to oppose it. Also let them know that you would like them to hold a public hearing before making a final decision on this measure.
