You will find dishonesty everywhere and a piece of paper is as good as the breeder it comes from only. It is unfortunate that there are so many ways to corrupt and wiggle ways into making something seem better then it is and that is why even AKC has a suspension list. I am not trying to make a blanket statement as you say I am and I'm sorry if it came across like that. I do realize and am speaking in general only!! All breeders are not the same and thats why its best to screen and ask questions before purchasing any dog AKC or not. Honesty is always the best policy, but not always followed by all. |
That is the way I veiw it too. As I have and have bred non-AKC reg dogs in the past, I take it a bit too personal sometimes. I know how much time and effort I have put into my dogs and it really pi**es me off to know that because of a bunch of morons running around out there, those who ARE honest are having to pay the price for it too.
It took me a while to realize what a big deal it is to some people and
why it is something they feel strongly about.
Anyway, no harm done...?
