NEW YORK — A dog breeder acquitted of charges that he poisoned a rival’s husky in a competition is suing the American Kennel Club in New York over its decision to suspend him from competition before his criminal case was resolved. Ralph Ullum filed a lawsuit in Manhattan seeking unspecified damages against the club and its president, Dennis Sprung. Ullum’s suit claims his business and reputation suffered after he was accused of poisoning a dog, Pixie, in 2010."
