Thats a nice letter but as far as I know there are mills and USDA breeders that register with AKC. AS long as there is food and water , a bit of exercise, and the paperwork is in order, all is ok. Even if a dog doesn't live in a rabbit cage,and has food, if you own 100 dogs you can't give them the love and attention dogs need. I think AKC is the most responsible club but they don't have a limit on how many dogs you can own or breed. The answer I think is to change the laws so dogs are not governed by the same laws as cattle. Dogs are for companionship , they are part of our family. If a breeder couldn't mass produce dogs there wouldn't be mills and USDA breeders because there wouldn't be any $$ to be made. That would also cut down on petstores becasue there wouldn't be anyone to supply them. I don't know what the limit should be , but I know it's not 50-100-500 dogs ! |
