My point exactly! Will we then only see big business breeders? Will this be the only place we will be able to buy a new puppy from? I just don't want to see our good home breeders go away, because (the good ones) raise such sweet babies and really care about them. It is not a business to them.
And you are right about the money AKC receives from Pet Shops! They are more of a profit to tAKC than us hobby breeders, so why should they care about us. I am just worried about how this will affect us. And I am sorry - I don't go around things - as you have found out. I follow the law to a T and do not ever want to get in trouble. So I do things by the book. I am the one that will return a penny to the cashier once I got to the car and found out she/he overpaid me. It drives my husband nuts. But can't help it - that is just me. I just don't want my rights taken away by others that do not understand what they do and how it affect everyone involved. They don't think of the big picture. If I want to buy a beautiful dog from overseas to strengthen my lines and show - I should be able to do so without it coasting so much. My rights are being denied then. Do you know what I mean? We all here at YT need to educate ourselves to really make sure we understand this new Bill. I still don't understand it all myself, but I am trying. It may be a good Bill, but what if it really isn't! I just know that my club members are good people and very experienced show people or rescue people (for non-profit) and they were very upset by this Bill.
