Thats not to say that our dogs aren't important, they are. But we have a fabulous org, the AKC, that has set standards to which we should adhear. If breeders hold themselvs to those standards, we'll be just fine... They have set standards on docking for dogs that need it and specified intact tails for those who don't.
For me... thats enough... Now, let the Gov. vote in rules for large kennels so that mills are not established... I'm all for that! |
Actually the AKC does not set the standards for breeds, the parent breed clubs do. In the case of the Yorkies the standard is set by the YTCA and submitted to the AKC. Just thought I should clear this up.
