In the last AKC Gazette, there was a notice.
The AKC's Management Disciplinary Committee has suspended the following individuals from all AKC privileges for an additional six months and imposed a $500.00 fine for having submitted or caused to be submitted three litter registration applications that they knew, should have known, or had a duty to know contained false certifications (DNA exclusions).
Effective April 7th. 2008
Ms. Merri Chaffin (Atoka, Ok)
(Multiple Breeds)
Since this does say "additional", it appears they have other suspensions on her. This may not stop people like this, but at least it's something. Of course, she can always go to other registries, but at least AKC has stepped in.
I can't help but wonder if the Chaffins have someone else selling their dogs now? How many Yorkie breeders could there be in Atoka, Oklahoma???
