Did Solon Compare Fluke To Bulldog?

Planned Parenthood of Montana has denounced as "degrading, sexist and inexcusable" comments made by state Rep. Krayton Kerns (pictured), R-Laurel, about contraception. Kerns is a veterinarian who writes a regular article on his personal website called, "Weekly Posting of the Conservative Cow Doctor." In his article, "Sandra Fluke: Poster Child of a Progressive America," Kerns discussed the Georgetown University law student, who raised the cost of contraception at a hearing held by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Kerns later talked about how when he was at veterinary school at Colorado State University, a bulldog made $1,000 a month for stud services. Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Stacey Anderson accused Kerns of linking an American college student to an animal, while the legislator denied that he had done that/Charles S.

Question: Did the legislator link Sandra Fluke to the old Colorado State bulldog or not?
