I see so many people on this forum state they would never give their money to any organization that is a participant in any way shape or form in mills.....Yet they register through them and encourage others to do so.....  Dee, your a breeder, do you find that the AKC is severely lacking in upholding it's own standards of care guidelines and ethics by wanting to do business with brokers and commercial breeders...? Do you feel AKC it not the prestigious registry it once was?
After doing some reading about this I'm glad I never registered my last yorkie......  |
yes, I do and like everyone else, hope they will wake up and smell the coffee. i know many people on here think that if the dog is AKC, it's quality. that is just not so. i didn't look at the dates on the reports I was looking at but i think they were like a year or two ago. I am hoping that this is not something they have always done. but i bet it is and is just now coming to light as peoplee get more computer savvy.
