mY HUSBUND AND I WATCHED THIS TOGETHER HIS BELIEFS ABOUT

that AKC should limit the reg. per year say maybe 5 litters
per year.per kennel/home that is on the high side for me as I am also a very small breeder.
(show) I like to keep it that way personally as it is hard to keep up with
things if you are doing it right.No one wants the goverment to control
this but really somthing needs to be done.
There is a town out here in Texas called Canton and they have canton days
once a month at this place they sell all kinds of stuff including
puppys and I mean puppys galore. AKC reg.I am sure there is other places out there that is typical thsi is no better than selling in a pet store.

It would be nice if AKC could do more about the mills by limiting the number of registrations you can do per year. But, there are always ways of getting around this. Each family member can get a PO Box and each family member can have their "own" dogs and you will still get 100's of dogs bred and all at the same place or mill. And if AKC gives them a problem, they will just switch to the alternative registries. At least AKC does inspect and will call the authorities if a disgusting mill is discovered in the process. Thats 100% more than the alternative registies do.
