I guess I have mixed feelings about it. It's understandable from the AKC's point of view to want to increase membership numbers/dollars. And as they stated, increased numbers give them more power when it comes to pet legislation. That is a good thing. On the negative side, they run the risk of damaging their prestigious reputation and many years of tradition. For me it's a tough call.
